I actually think this is happening on logout, given that I saw a .crash file in my /var/crash/ directory when I was not logged in to a desktop session. Well either that or it happens with the nm-applet that appears in lightdm.

It happened after todazs update right after restart and login.
It seems to happen while updating, because I got some messages with warnings and errors from gnome panel during apdate.

nm-applet is no longer used under gnome-shell, so it shouldnt be autostarted anymore. cherrypicked git patch that updates the autostart desktop file

Re patch in #11, I'm not sure if this will not regress on gnome-panel and derivative GNOME-like sessions, which are not GNOME-Shell based.

I guess could use the following instead if you prefer?

Brian Murray (brian-murray) wrote : Missing SRU information

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, a test case and details regarding the regression potential. Thanks in advance!
