Actually this is based off of a script that pulls in packages... It
might be based off of Mini, if we need to... the need for this has not
been show to exist yet (NetworkManager did not work in the Mini for the
same reason... whatever that is)

I think this may be the issue... but rather than a specific package that
is installed, I am fairly convinced that the issue is the session
missing a certain configuration.  NetworkManager (NM) possibly needs a
polkit rule, or something similar to this.  The upstart script is
installed (the same ones) so, I think the normal session managers or
lightdm(?) pull something in that makes NM work correctly.

No apology needed, this thought has been mentioned by me before, but now
I am getting closer to actually understanding what we need to do to
address this issue (possibly :P )
