Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
In the Gnome Network Manager Applet, when I edit connections and make them available to all users, they disappear from the Network Connections list, and I can no longer enable them. A file with the name of the connection appears under /etc/NetworkMan
The set of steps to reproduce this is as follows:
1. Right click on the network manager applet and click on Edit Connections.
2. Click on Add and configure a new connection and fill in the information or click on Edit and edit existing one, changing some part of the network configuration
3. Make sure the Available to all users box is checked.
4. Click Apply.
Auto eth0 disappeared and stopped working after reconfigured it for a zerconf local network and clicked on Apply. In addition, the same thing happened when I attempted to create new connection provides for the interface eth0. After this, I attempted to do the same thing with wireless connections, just to see if the behavior would be the same - it was.
After doing this, the contents of /etc/NetworkMan
-rw------- 1 root root 550 2009-07-26 20:25 Auto Burton
-rw------- 1 root root 335 2009-07-26 21:45 Auto eth0
-rw------- 1 root root 284 2009-07-26 20:27 Auto eth1
-rw------- 1 root root 297 2009-07-26 20:45 Auto eth2
-rw------- 1 root root 303 2009-07-26 21:22 Foobar
-rw------- 1 root root 307 2009-07-26 21:22 Foobar2
-rw------- 1 root root 324 2009-07-26 20:46 Wired connection 1
Wired Connection 1, Foobar, and Foobar 2 are connections I created from scratch and attempted to make available to all users, after Auto eth0 disappeared. Auto Burton was an existing wireless network profile that I attempted to make available to all users.
Uninstalling network-manager with the --purge option and deleting this directory before reinstalling puts the system back into he default state, but the problem returns as soon as I attempt to make a connection available to all users again.

I can confirm this same behavior; oddly enough, it only started happening for me after I upgraded to Karmic and NM 0.8. 20090804t185522 .4bab334- 0ubuntu1
