Comment 1 for bug 703976

The next time it crashes and you need start it from the command line, could you do the following:

1- Download the debug packages:
Add the repository:
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ natty main

Install network-manager-applet-dbgsym:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-dbgsym

2- Run nm-applet in a debugger:
gdb --args nm-applet

You will need to use the "run" command to have it actually start.

3- When it crashes, issue the following command:
bt full

4- Attach the output to this bug.

Thanks in advance.
