[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#567207: network-manager: Can't launch X application while connected to a wireless network

[Yannick Roehlly]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.999-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

I know the summary of the bug is a bit strange, but it's what happens.

While connected to a wireless network (I didn't test connected to a wired network) all X application fails
to start with a "cannot connect to X server :0.0" error.

For instance, if I start my session without auto-connection, open a konsole terminal, launch a X application
(e.g. dolphin) there's no problem.
If I connect to the wireless network and try again to launch dolphin (or whatever X app), it fails because
it can't connect to the X server.
If I disconnect from the network, I can again launch an X app.

I tried both with gnome/network-manager-gnome and kde/network-manager-kde.

I updated all the network-manager packages that were left in new queue, same problem.

I didn't found any useful information in /var/log/syslog nor in /var/log/daemon.log. I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of 
ideas where to search for that bug.

I set the severity to critical, but feel free to downgrade it if I'm an isolated case.

Yannick
