[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#643029: network-manager-gnome: refuses to join new wireless networks

[Peter Eckersley]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: important

Since the upgrade to 0.9.0, the gnome network-manager applet has been refusing
to allow me to manually select new ESSIDs for it to join.  It will still join
preexisting "auto" network connections, and allows manual switches between
those, but clicking on the name of a network that has not been joined before
produces no response.
