Bug Description
[Impact]
* User has a hard time to login via network, (krb5) if nm-applet is not accessible via login screen.
[Test Case]
1) make sure the system is configure to authenticate via krb5
2) login with user "A" and disconnect from the network via nm-applet, logout
3) Try to login with user B
a. Actual Results:
User B is not able to authenticate because the system is not connected to the network so we are not able to talk to the krb servers
b. Expected Results:
Users should be able to use network manager from within unity greater and reconnect to the network before attempting to login.
[Regression Potential]
* n/a . The patch is a backport from upstream

Hey Michael, you wrote that patch, do you have any opinion on SRUing to precise?
@Ritesh: that's somewhat a feature/UI change, can you check with the SRU team if they are fine with that change in a SRU?
