1. The problem I was having with my Network-Manager was actually a
problem with the default keyring. It seems that NetMang is automatically
linked with the a keyring. Since, I prefer to enter my PSKs myself, I
decided to install wicd, instead of NetMang.

2. Some of my menu text and data field text turns invisible. I turned
off Compiz, and that seemed to help some. However, it did not fix the
problem completely.
