nm-applet stops working sometimes

[Thomas Novin]

Sometimes I discover that nm-applet stops functioning. I'm attaching how it looks when I try to start a VPN, it is just blank. No VPN connections listed.

Also, choosing nm-applet then Connection Information & Edit Connections does not work. Nothing happens when I click them.

Workaround: restarting with killall nm-applet && nm-applet &
