[Impact] 
 * User has a hard time to login via network, (krb5) if nm-applet is not accessible via login screen. 

[Test Case]
1) make sure the system is configure to authenticate via krb5
2) login with user "A" and disconnect from the network via nm-applet, logout
3) Try to login with user B

 a. Actual Results:
User B is not able to authenticate because the system is not connected to the network so we are not able to talk to the krb servers

 b. Expected Results:
Users should be able to use network manager from within unity greater and reconnect to the network before attempting to login.


[Regression Potential] 
 * n/a . The patch is a backport from upstream
