I can start nm-applet but I can't get it to work consistently. It asks
me for the passwd for example but it does no connect. Well once it did
but I can't do it a second time. Presumable NetworkManager is run when
I boot but no nm-applet is launched unless I do it on the command line.
I can see that it is the facility that I was looking for but I just
can't make it work. I get errors when it starts that I included in
another fedora message.
(nm-applet:5719): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `urgency_hint'
for class `GtkDialog'
(nm-applet:5719): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `urgency_hint'
for class `GtkDialog'
I don't know what these errors mean. Do you?
