I also noticed that my laptop didn’t autoconnect anymore. And even after
connecting manually, I still saw a questionmark on the tray icon and incorrect
connection information. Ultimately, ~/.xsession-errors tells us more:

$ grep NetworkManager ~/.xsession-errors | sort -u
[...]

Unhandled property "LastSeen"

void NetworkManager::NetworkManagerPrivate::propertiesChanged(const 
QVariantMap&) Unhandled property "PrimaryConnectionType"
void NetworkManager::SettingsPrivate::propertiesChanged(const QVariantMap&) 
Unhandled property "Connections"

Hoping the best, I upgraded to the still keyworded 1.4.2. That fixed it for me.

Ahh!  These apps offer Save As png/jpeg formats only.

Does it save them in a vector format so that they scale and print
properly, or does it rasterize them?

I don't ever need to extract/print images.

I haven't used acroread or Qoppa's PDFStudio, but qpdfview and okular will 
copy and save selections as images, which you can save and print thereafter.  
If you prefer to work on a terminal mutool will also extract images.
