-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Jirka, there was no reaction to left-clicking whatsoever for nm-applet. However, yesterday, I entered the credentials to one of the wireless networks under the "Edit Connection -> Wireless" right-click menu as "Wireless connection 1" and now, I cannot reproduce the problem any more, so I consider the issue resolved, although I have no clue what actually caused this in the first place.
