[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#517371: /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor: nm-connection-editor crashes when I try to edit any kind of connection

[Pierre Habouzit]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.0.97-1
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor
Justification: renders package unusable


When I try to edit a connection, the dialog disappears. When running it
from the console, I see:

$ nm-connection-editor
