stupid question - duplicated list ?

[Andrew <andrew2006 flight us>]

this may have been addressed before, but my googling has been fruitless.

Why does the dropdown list from nm-applet have all the available networks duplicated? (first the list, then its copy?)  

I have installed/upgraded to about 10 diffent Fedora 9 systems, and in every one I had the duplication phenomenon.

How does one get rid of the duplicate?

thanks
andrew
