Comment 35 for bug 555571

After reading most of both this bug and bug 524454, I think this actually is a duplicate of it.

I suspect the differences in people's reported ability/inability to re-enable network management through the applet are due to the difference between the Gnome and KDE applets described in comment #33. I don't see any comments in either bug that indicate they're using KDE AND are able to re-enable it through the applet. The underlying bug--the fact that networking is left disabled after a failure to resume--is common to both reports. Gnome users just have a more convenient workaround than KDE users due to a difference in features of the applets.

If that's wrong, someone straighten me out, but in the meantime I'll mark it as a duplicate again.
