Bug Description

If I configure a PXE netboot for Live session like this:

label live
 menu label ^Live session boot
 kernel vmlinuz
 append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/mnt2 initrd=initrd.lz

the network manager applet does not launch at all. If I install it onto a computer, the resulting install will have dbus and nm-applet broken (nm-applet won't launch) and this can't be fixed by reinstalling those packages. Ubiquity does mention something about dbus failing to be set up in its 'details' console. However, if I install using any of these other methods:

* Live CD
* Live USB
* Netboot CLI install
* Alternate CD

the install works fine.
