No, this is the first time I hear about this bug. Reading the main-menu code, I
found out it uses nm-applet.glade file for this, which had incompatible changes
in May. I don't think it's a good idea to use other application's glade files,
there's no guarantees it won't change (yeah-yeah, like the public API hasn't
change :) but at least it will be declared stable at some point, which is not
the case for the glade file).
I think the network status functionality in main-menu should be reconsidered in
general. Is it really useful to see the same status in two locations (always
visible status icon and opened main menu)? Especially when the main-menu one
knows how to handle a single active connection and doesn't know anything about
VPN (ie, has less information). If we think we do want it, it might be better
to reorganize the code in the applet to create a stand alone executable for the
information dialog.
