nm-applet crashed with SIGSEGV in applet_find_active_connection_for_device()

[Per Ångström]

This could be a dupe of bug #261921, but that was in 8.10 and this is in 9.04 Alpha 3, so I'm opening a new bug.

I had created a new wireless network, and now I was trying to connect to that same network, on the same machine. And nm-applet crashed.

I am using 9.04 stable since one month and boot it from an USB stick with a persistent partition on it. (still testing some ATI issues)

Today I added jaunty-backports and jaunty-proposed as package sources. A few reboots later the nm-applet failed to start and crashed like described by this bug. Restarting it manually in a terminal worked. Logout and in again made it start as usual.

This happened the first time. I'll add another comment if it gets reproduceable.
