Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a regular (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability

Apparently you either did not read the changes made to the configuration files, 
or did not fully understand their import. I will reiterate: the changes made to 
allow this package to work as intended, it was necessary to change the default 
configuration from deny ownership of the NetworkManager Service and Settings, 
I believe this will allow an individual to configure networking in an arbitrary 
manner, which most certainly can allow for direct loss of privacy.
If you disagree, please explain to me how full access to network settings 
cannot allow this.

i insist that this bug be reclassified as a security bug today.

** Summary changed:

- Networkmanager does not allow nm-applet to start for a networkauthenticated 
user.
+ Networkmanager does not allow nm-applet to start for a network authenticated 
user.
