Bug Description
If a process binds 127.0.1.1:53 and the network-manager ist started, it tries to use this port (dnsmasq). It waits until the port is available. That means no interaction with the network-manager is possible. So unity-control-
I think there should be a message that explains the problem: "network-manager tries to set up dnsmasq on 127.0.1.1:53, but this port is already in use. Retrying ..." and the associated GUI components should stay responsive, but only the blocked options should be shown as blocked by the problem.
You can verify the bug with the provieded script.
