[Bug 1427800] [NEW] Edit and Disconnect options greyed out after update

 

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 12.04 only.  Only tested on 64 bit.  (Does not happen on
14.04)

After upgrading the network-manager-gnome packages (includes libnm-gtk0
libnm-gtk-common) from 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3 to 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4
Disconnect, Edit and under VPN Connections Configure VPN and Disconnect
VPN are greyed out and unelectable.  You can no longer change passwords
for VPN or WiFi, or define new static IP configurations.

As 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3 is no longer available in the repos, I had to roll
back to 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2, which meant rolling back Unity Greeter as
well.  This initially found on my desktop, but replicated in a VM I had
with 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3 still running.  Going directly to
0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4 still gives the same problem.
