Bug Description
When connected to a network (via ethernet), I am not able to disconnect using the network menu in the top taskbar. The "Disconnect" menu item is not highlighted. The Connection Name is highlighted, but I don't need to click it because I'm already connected to it. If I click the Connection Name, it connects again, but still does not highlight the "Disconnect" option. So to disconnect, I have to go to System Settings -> Network, and click on the toggle. That does work. It's just the taskbar connection manager that is malfunctioning.
I have tried restarting, and the problem persists.
This happened after I updated software this morning using Update Manager. I installed the updated Unity Greeter that puts network status on the login screen and updates wifi and mobile.
I am running 12.04 LTS and Unity2d
