Package: gnome-netstatus-applet Version: 2.12.1-1 If I click the nm-applet icon to display the list of wireless networks, just as the daemon finishes negotiating a connection, it will display the keyring-manager screen to allow or deny access to the keyring for purposes of storing the wpa key. When it does this with the wireless scan screen also open, the entire desktop completely freezes, background processes seems to continue to function, but mouse and keyboard functions won't interact with the desktop. Can't switch to alternative workspaces, or stop the service, or click any window inputs.
Switching to an alternate terminal, logging in, and killing the network-manager process will unfreeze the desktop and allow nm-applet to be reloaded. I'm not sure if this is a bug with nm-applet, or gnome-network-manager.
