Thanks.
When I uploaded the latest update yesterday (Ubuntu 12.04, user version
with Unity, Dell laptop), the Edit Connections menu item (previously
insensitive) worked. Now today, after re-booting, it has become insensitive
again. As you advise, I will leave the computer on and see what happens. I
will report back.
