[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#767443: network-manager: nm-applet left-click menu disappears when button is released

[Mike Kupfer]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

If I left-click on the nm-applet icon (in the Xfce systray), the menu
only stays up as long as I hold the button down.  As soon as I release
the button, the menu disappears.  If I click-release, I expect the
menu to stay open.

(If I right-click and release, the menu stays open as expected.)

A web search revealed an Arch Linux discussion[1], which refers to a
Fedora bug and workaround patch[2].
