Bug Description
broken out of bug 780602, because we believe the root cause to be different. From that bug report:
I experience exactly the same symptoms as the bug report description has.
After some time nm-applet stops reacting to user input and submenu entries do not populate. This is with latest 12.10 packages.
I noticed that the indicator tries to get the menu but it fails - dbus-monitor output below:
method call sender=:1.12 -> dest=:1.67 serial=14296 path=/com/
string "0x26ef470"
uint32 0
int32 1147
int32 24
uint32 1
uint32 1356027813
method return sender=:1.67 -> dest=:1.12 reply_serial=14296
method call sender=:1.67 -> dest=:1.14 serial=107621 path=/org/
array [
int32 80799
]
error sender=:1.14 -> dest=:1.67 error_name=
string "The IDs supplied '[80799]' do not refer to any menu items we have"
When some item is clicked (e.g. disconnect for current wifi AP) the following happens:
signal sender=:1.67 -> dest=(null destination) serial=107704 path=/com/
string ""
struct {
int32 0
int32 0
uint32 0
uint32 0
}
method call sender=:1.67 -> dest=:1.14 serial=107705 path=/org/
array [
struct {
int32 80846
string "clicked"
variant int32 0
uint32 106251172
}
]
error sender=:1.14 -> dest=:1.67 error_name=
string "The IDs supplied '[80846]' do not refer to any menu items we have"
So this looks like like dbus menu is losing the IDs or nm-applet is using the ids that are no longer valid.
