Fast-user-switching needs gdm. Shutting down the applet doesn't mean the connection should be shut down, that's all. Because I might want to connect and then quit my X session and return to console and still have net access, even when I'm in a conference or at some friend's, and I'm not sure it's the purpose of “system connections” (though I don't even know how to mark a connection as “system”. I use network-manager on that box with Xfce so I don't have all the GNOME stuff. > > >> I'm closing this bug with the explanation given above.

I'm just wondering about the valid use case of shutting down the connection and changing the previous behavior. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
