It actually seems to me like nm-applet ought to run even on GNOME Shell sessions, as to provide the GSM PIN/PUK dialogs. I think I'd rather use the upstream patch to redo that code altogether.

With the latest version (0.9.8.4-1ubuntu1), nm-applet is no longer launched at startup on non Gnome-Shell sessions (e.g. on Cairo-Dock session). It seems this is because this patch is no longer applied: git_dont_autostart_under_GNOME.patch I'm proposing a new version (please see the branch linked to this bug report) which re-adds this patch. Note that this patch should no longer be needed with the next 0.9.8.8 version: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager- applet/commit/?id=e192e83c1aa136512a9d4f026f81677799af8127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1267100/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
