Title:
  release 2.4 of network-manager-gnome causes greyed out "Edit
  Connections..." in nm-applet

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Linux Mint 13 (Maya), MATE 64 bit edition.

  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 403974 Sep 21 20:30 network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 404006 Feb  5 15:18 network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4_amd64.deb
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 402358 Apr  3  2012 network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

  On Feb 5, 2015, I ran update manager and it installed  network-
  manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4_amd64.deb.

  Afterwards, when I went to edit my network connections using the panel application launcher nm-applet,
  the "Edit Connetions..." text was greyed out. I was expecting it to be black and selectable.

  After some investigation, I downgraded network-manager-gnome to
  network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb and the nm-applet was
  corrected and back to normal.

  Again, I was able to consistently upgraded to 2.4 to replicate the
  problem and downgrade to 2 to correct it.

  This can possibly qualify as a desktop related issue, so I will open a
  bug in gethub.com also.
