nm-applet is no longer launched at startup on non gnome-shell sessions

Note: I just re-sync my BZR branch with the trunk (lp:ubuntu/network-manager-applet).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Looks like gnome-flashback(fallback) and unity-greeter are affected also.

Using referenced branch, indeed solves the problem.
I've uploaded fixed package to my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~eugenesan/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/3896688/+listing-archive-extra

All updates (including proposed) are installed on clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 - nm-applet does not auto-load in GNOME FlashBack sessions (Compiz and Metacity).
If I try to load it manually from terminal with 'nm-applet' it is loaded and showed.

unity-greeter show pop-up about my wired connection (informs me that it is connected), but there is no nm-applet here too.

@Norbert: I just uploaded a new version of this package with a patch to fix this bug.
You can find it on my ppa (ppa:matttbe/ppa) => https://launchpad.net/~matttbe/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/3932130/+listing-archive-extra
Feel free to test it and check if it fixes this bug ;-)

@Matthieu Baerts (matttbe) , thank you very much!!!
I added your ppa and tested GNOME FlashBack sessions (Compiz and Metacity) - nm-applet is auto-loaded in them, it's great!

I booted my Ubuntu 12.04.4 machines - they do not have nm-applet in lightdm/unity-greeter, so this is not an issue.
So bug #1267100 is fixed.

I manually applied the patch and nm-applet now works fine.
Please commit/release it. :)

I think there's another bug involved here.

nm-applet is now always launched in my gnome-fallback session, nice.
But I don't always see it in the systray, it's intermittent.
E.g. I reboot with autologin enabled, and I don't see the applet.
The nm-applet process is there though.
Then I logoff / logon, and I do see the applet.

So people might not see the applet after applying *this* patch, because of the *other* bug involved, and they may have trouble verifying that it indeed fixes this issue.

If you've this bug, it should not be due to this patch because with it, this application should be launched at startup except if you're using KDE or GNOME with Gnome-Shell.
If the conditions are not respected, it's maybe due to something else (maybe Gnome-Session?)

It actually seems to me like nm-applet ought to run even on GNOME Shell sessions, as to provide the GSM PIN/PUK dialogs. I think I'd rather use the upstream patch to redo that code altogether.

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager-applet - 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu1
