Bug#427393: nm-applet freezes entire desktop in certain situation

[Matt Todd]

Package: gnome-netstatus-applet
Version: 2.12.1-1

If I click the nm-applet icon to display the list of wireless networks, just
as the daemon finishes negotiating a connection, it will display the
keyring-manager screen to allow or deny access to the keyring for purposes
of storing the wpa key.  When it does this with the wireless scan screen
also open, the entire desktop completely freezes, background processes seems
to continue to function, but mouse and keyboard functions won't interact
with the desktop.  Can't switch to alternative workspaces, or stop the
service, or click any window inputs.

Switching to an alternate terminal, logging in, and killing the
network-manager process will unfreeze the desktop and allow nm-applet to be
reloaded.  I'm not sure if this is a bug with nm-applet, or
gnome-network-manager.
