Title:
  NetworkManager applet (nm-applet) disappears after upgrading to xenial

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu wily (15.10) to xenial (16.04, LTS), the 
NetworkManager control applet (nm-applet) ceased to show up.
  While running wily and even prior, I had modified /proc's "hidepid" argument 
to be 2, in accordance with hardening best practices in order to only allow 
users to see their own processes. Nm-applet was working just fine.

  Based on this Debian bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819808), I changed hidepid back to 0 (the
  default, which lets users see everyone's processes) and it's working
  again.

  Given that nm-applet was working just fine in wily and upgrading to
  xenial broke it, it seems like a regression.

  Wily version of network-manager: 1.0.4-0ubuntu5
  Xenial version: 1.1.93-0ubuntu4
