[Bug 1568829] [NEW] nm-applet icon not showing when /proc is mounted with hidepid!=0

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

Steps to reproduce:

1. (Re-)mount /proc with hidepid=1 (or =2)
2. Restart nm-applet

nm-applet's icon does not reappear after the restart. This used to work
with version 1.0.


Original bug description:

Since I upgraded to -proposed network-manager and network-manager-gnome versions, nm-applet no longer works.
Manually starting it on a console give:

$ nm-applet

(nm-applet:6250): nm-applet-WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.AgentManager.PermissionDenied: Unable to determine request sender and UID.

(nm-applet:6250): libnm-CRITICAL **: nm_client_get_devices: assertion 'NM_IS_CLIENT (client)' failed

What's odd is the NM and NM-gnome base versions are not identical:
