I've encountered this problem as well, only in my case the problem extends to the entire nm-applet menu. All submenus of the dialog (eg, "More networks") come up entirely blank, and even the items on the main menu are entirely non-responsive. Logging out/restarting nm-applet temporarily fixes the problem, but my computer has yet to go more than 48 hours without producing this problem.
Potentially-relevant notes: - I was not having this problem on 11.04. It only appeared after an upgrade to 12.04. - I'm running a Lenovo T420 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42348 Title: VPN connections menu empty although there's a configured connection Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In the nm-applet dropdown menu you can find a point VPN-Connections. When installing from cvs etc. it showed my configured VPN connections, now it only shows me: configure VPN and shutdown/terminate VPN greyed out. Is there a way to get the old behaviour back?
