I have the same problem, my initial search found this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1427800

The easiest temporary fix is to install the old network-manager-gnome 9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3 deb, luckily I don't have my mirrors auto clean.  Here is a copy, I just had the i386 version:
http://open-sense.com/temp/network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3_i386.deb

I wish they would keep at least one older version kept in the repository pools, but I googled the exact file name and found these for i386 and amd64. I haven't tried them but they should work:

  Might be after upgrade to network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4, the item Edit Connections... at the bottom of the network manager's menu is now insensitive i.e. grayed out, therefore user cannot configure his/her connections as indicated in http://docs.xubuntu.org/1204/internet-networks.html#network-connections

  workaround : launch /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor to display the
  network connections window and have access to the settings.
