Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic.
With network manager from PPA with fixed bug #432205 there is another bug with dsl connections.

Way to reproduce:
1) install network-manager from ppa https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/trunk
2) create dsl connection with network manager someusername/somepassword and "for all users" cheked. Close nm-connection editor.
3) try to change(or connect) this dsl connection with dsl-connection-editor.

you take "system policy prevents modification of system settings" window with password promt and editor inicialisation error window with "Insufficient privileges." and close button.

in console:

bmw@bmw-desktop:~$ nm-connection-editor

(nm-connection-editor:24267): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

after entering password window with "Insufficient privileges." active and push "close" causes nm-connection-editor to close. So it is incredible to change connection if "for all users" checked.

full nm-connection-editor output in attachment.

I can confirm this, I can only connect to a DSL connection with "all users" unchecked.
