This was annoying me too, so until we get a fix for this, you can try
this workaround I documented here:
http://blog.jacobodevera.com/2009/07/30/gnome-network-manager-applet-
with-multiple-users.html
It is by no means a solution, but it might bring the family back to
Linux :)

not being able to use it if you are the second user to log onto the

The bug is even more serious. I am running a single user system under
Linux Mint 7 (essentially jaunty). My kde session is broken unless nm-

As H Koch wrote, I'm still observing this bug in Jaunty (9.04)! That's

this one?

An addition to my previous post:
No changes to my statements concerning nm-applet.
But the problem with knetworkmanager (or plasma networkmanager applet)
can be avoided. Just in case somebody is interested:
As I learned, there are two types of connections, user and system.

I have the exact same problem in jaunty.
It also happens (nm-applet refusing to start)
if a kde user starts knetworkmanager first (on the same laptop).
Several kde users can run knetworkmanager simultaneously.
So I ended up switching from gnome to kde.
But it turns out that only the knetworkmana

I second this. It's confusing for the family because if they get
connection failure for the user that did get the network-manager, they
have no way of reconnecting it when logged in as themselv

This is the most annoying bug I have encountered in Ubuntu 8.10.
The first user that log-on has the network applet where you can switch between
networks,
but the second user does not have the network applet unless the first users
logs out first.

Agreed. It's also a big problem when:
- User A logs into the machine and connects to network
- User B logs into the machine
- User A or user B puts the machine to sleep
- User B wakes the machine but can no longer connect to the network, user A has
to log in for this to work.

I think this bug should have a higher priority than medium.
It is a real pain that wireless networking stops when I switch users.

I can confirm this. it's not working on my computer either even when you
try to start it by hand, and it's not a listed process for that user.

Of course I mean that another process is running. nm-applet should
refuse to run if another proccess is running on the _current_ session.
I mean that nm-applet should acquire session service, not system.
