Bug Description

Linux Mint 13 (Maya), MATE 64 bit edition.

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 403974 Sep 21 20:30 network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 404006 Feb 5 15:18 network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4_amd64.deb
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 402358 Apr 3 2012 network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

On Feb 5, 2015, I ran update manager and it installed network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4_amd64.deb.

Afterwards, when I went to edit my network connections using the panel application launcher nm-applet,
the "Edit Connetions..." text was greyed out. I was expecting it to be black and selectable.

After some investigation, I downgraded network-manager-gnome to network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb and the nm-applet was corrected and back to normal.

Again, I was able to consistently upgraded to 2.4 to replicate the problem and downgrade to 2 to correct it.

This can possibly qualify as a desktop related issue, so I will open a bug in gethub.com also.
