[Bug 1351590] [NEW] Cannot configure wi-fi in a live-session without logging out and back in again

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Paul White (paulw2u):

I am using the daily build 20140802 of Xubuntu in a live session and
cannot setup a wi-fi connection as I am told I do not have the
authority. See attached screenshot of error.

If I log out and then back in again I can setup wifi without a problem.

I first saw this problem with 20140801 but did not report it.
