nm-applet and Sugar -- control conflict over d-bus

[Martin Langhoff <martin langhoff gmail com>]

Hi list,

we're working on some issues in how we handle the network between
Sugar and Gnome sessions, and we're finding something unexpected.

If we "disable networking" (sleep) from nm-applet , we cannot wake NM
up from Sugar, and vice-versa.

Easier to test: if we're in a Gnome session, if we put NM to sleep
from nm-applet, we cannot wake it up from cnetworkmanager. This is on
F11, NM 0.7.

Is this expected -- perhaps an aspect of dbus that has eluded me before?

BTW, is there a good recipe on how to monitor dbus method calls sent
from nm-applet and similar? I have my dbus setup allowing
eavesdropping, but that doesn't seem to be enough to see those
messages.

thanks!
