Bug Description
Ubuntu 11.04
network-
Authentication for creating/editing system connections in nm-connection-
Other combinations result in "available to all users" checkbox being grayed out or "insufficient privileges" error.
Tested cases:
- gdm + openbox session.
- no dm + "ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session" + workaround of broken ck session management in bug #483130
in both tested cases nm-applet fails to authenticate user to edit/create system connection.
console output when trying to create system wireless connection: insufficient privileges when hitting "save" button
