Public bug reported:
The Network Manager applet shows side menus for "More networks" and "VPN
Connections". On occasion, the applet loses the ability to display
those options usefully. When in this state, mousing over those menu
options causes an empty menu to show up instead of the extra wireless
networks or the VPN options, respectively.
"killall nm-applet" followed by "nm-applet --sm-disable &" in a terminal
brings back those side menus.
As far as I can tell, Network Manager itself is not affected by this;
i.e. any VPN I have up at the time remains operational. Of course, it's
difficult to start a new VPN or shut down any running VPN without the
menu options to do so.
