Bug description:
[Impact]
* User has a hard time to login via network, (krb5) if nm-applet is not
accessible via login screen.
[Test Case]
1) make sure the system is configure to authenticate via krb5
2) login with user "A" and disconnect from the network via nm-applet, logout
3) Try to login with user B
a. Actual Results:
User B is not able to authenticate because the system is not connected to the
network so we are not able to talk to the krb servers
b. Expected Results:
Users should be able to use network manager from within unity greater and
reconnect to the network before attempting to login.
[Regression Potential]
* n/a . The patch is a backport from upstream
