Network Manager applet faulty (forgets previously added connections)
on 3G connections, on Gnome-Shell.

How to reproduce:
* plug 3G dongle
* add a new connection ( using nm-connection-editor )
* connect to it.
* disconnect
* unplug 3G dongle.
* plug it again
* notice the previously created connection doesn't appear on the list

Workaround:
Use nm-applet from Gnome's fallback on Gnome-Shell:

# mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.js
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.disabled
ALT+F2, type 'r', ENTER.

Things I'd like to know:
* is this known? on release notes there is no mention of buggy network applet.
* easier way to identify Network Manager's applet written in
Javascript so I can use proper engrish on the bug report... "network
applet" ?
