If I try to configure the interface by clicking the 'Configure' button
in gnome-nettool, I see the following error message on standard error:

 CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '#####'

It seems gnome-nettool is calling network-admin with superuser
privileges, which no longer works. For example, 'sudo network-admin'
will start disabled and you'll see the same security error on standard
error. If this is by design, I fail to see the reason. The superuser
should be able to configure network interfaces with or without the GUI.
