[Bug 191889] Re: [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager.

[Jonathan]

Logging out didn't help.  I tried reinstalling network-manager and
network-manager-gnome, it prompted me to restart, which I did, and still
nothing.  I went to my Sessions Preferences and the Network Manager Applet
was listed there with a command "nm-applet --sm-disable"

I checked my System Monitor Processes and nm-applet appears to be running,
but just to try I killed it and ran sudo nm-applet --sm-disable.  Still
nothing.

I thought that network manager was different than nm-applet actually, but I
wasn't sure.  If that's the case, I don't know how to start network
manager.  I checked Services and Session Preferences and didn't find
anything helpful in either (besides the Network Manager Applet I mentioned).

I also find it weird that I can't access it via System -> Administration
anymore...  Any thoughts?  I can provide debugging if you let me know what
you need (and how to get it).
