When multiple users are logged in, the NetworkManager applet will only work for one of them. If one of the other users need to interact with NetworkManager, they are screwed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.0-0. 9.4.svn3675. fc9.x86_ 64

How reproducible:

Expected Results:
NetworkManager applet in all its glory.
