Yes, I have confirmed that the unwanted notifications come from nm-
applet. Removing nm-applet from startup applications works around the
problem, but it is not a good workaround because Unity and Gnome
Classic's panel don't start nm-applet on their own; they're stuck with
whatever is set in gnome-session-properties, because everyone uses the
same gnome-session. (It's also problematic because gnome-session-
properties has been tweaked so removing a startup application specified
by the system is difficult).

Title:
  nm-applet is wrongly started with Gnome Shell

Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I log in to Gnome Shell, nm-applet is wrongly autostarted as if I
  am running a session with Unity or gnome-panel. The application
  conflicts with Gnome Shell's own network notifications, resulting in a
  very broken experience.
