Can you fix the following issues and re-submit?

precise-unity-greeter:
dpkg-source: error: cannot read unity-greeter-0.2.9/debian/patches/show-nm-applet.patch: No such file or directory

precise-network-manager-applet:
Explain rebuild_menu_after_init refresh

You should ensure the debdiff can apply cleanly on the current precise-updates version and is buildable.
Thanks,

  Fix Released
Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in network-manager-applet source package in Precise:

Status in unity-greeter source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
   * User has a hard time to login via network, (krb5) if nm-applet is not accessible via login screen. 

  [Test Case]
  1) make sure the system is configure to authenticate via krb5
  2) login with user "A" and disconnect from the network via nm-applet, logout
  3) Try to login with user B

   a. Actual Results:
  User B is not able to authenticate because the system is not connected to the network so we are not able to talk to the krb servers

   b. Expected Results:
  Users should be able to use network manager from within unity greater and reconnect to the network before attempting to login.

  
  [Regression Potential] 
   * n/a . The patch is a backport from upstream
