Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
If network-manager is active and one selects
System->Administration->NetworkManager, a second network-manager icon
will appear in the notification area. Selecting again causes a third
and so on. This leads to multiple instances of network-manager fighting
each other, creating the illusion of a slow network.
Two points:
1) Network-manager should not, by default, start up if another instance is
already running.
2) Network-manager should provide a means to completely shut it down from the
notification area icon. Yes, killall will do the job, but I want something for
the non-geeks in my charge.
