Hi, I kind of partially solved the problem. I've changed the connection setting so that it is a system-wide connection and all users can use it, no matter if the first one logs out. Thanks Dan and Alexander. However, I'm still getting only one Network Manager Applet in the Tray Area. The first user to log has it, but the following users do not. Isn't it possible to have multiple instances of NM applet running?
