Public bug reported:
Distro version: Ubuntu 10.10
What happens:
The Network Manager applet is only shown in the first session opened in Ubuntu.
I.e.: Hansel and Gretel are two distinct user accounts in one Ubuntu PC.
- If Hansel logs in, NM applet is available in its session. Hansel can manage
network connections and see current connections' states.
- Hansel locks his session (he does not disconnect). Gretel opens a new
session. NM applet is not available to Gretel. She can use network connections
established by Hansel, but she can't see what connections it is nor she can see
connections states, and if no connection is established she can't proceed
either.
- Gretel locks her session. Hansel unlocks his session, then logs out. Gretel
unlocks her session. NM applet is not available to her, even if there is no
other user currently using NM applet.
What is expected:
NM appler should be seen in every opened session by every users, so everyone
could at least observe current network connections' states, at best also be
able to manage themselves network connection. NM applet should always be
available to all users.
If Hansel and Gretel both have an opened session on an Ubuntu-powered
PC, they both should have the ability to see current connections' states
and (better) should be able to connect to/disconnect from a network.
