To overcome the the problem with the administrative privileges, 'pkill nm-applet' can be saved as a script (lets say in /usr/local/bin), and then its name along with all usernames can be added to /etc/sudoers.
However there might be a better solution: hack the consolekit to do all the killing/restarting for the user. So upon switching a user the nm- applet should be killed and then restarted with the new user privileges. I'm not sure if it is doable with the consolekit though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284596 Title: nm-applet fails when another user is logged in -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
