Title:
  nm-applet authentication works only in gdm+gnome/unity session

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

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.04
  network-manager-gnome 0.8.4~git.20110318t152954.9c4c9a0-0ubuntu1

  Authentication for creating/editing system connections in nm-connection-editor works only in gnome/unity session started via gdm. 
  Other combinations result in "available to all users" checkbox being grayed out or "insufficient privileges" error.

  Tested cases: 
   - gdm + openbox session.
   - no dm + "ck-launch-session dbus-launch  openbox-session" + workaround of broken ck session management in bug #483130

  in both tested cases nm-applet fails to authenticate user to
  edit/create system connection.

  
  console output when trying to create system wireless connection: insufficient privileges when hitting "save" button
