This bug is serious under the following circumstances:
- First user logs into PC, network manager starts up and connects to network
- Second user uses fast-user-switcher to logon, has no icon for network manager
- Some time later the first user switches back on, and logs out of their account
- Now, the second user has no network manager, and the network connection is lost. They've got no way of re-connecting to the network, save manually starting nm or logging out and logging back on.

I'm hitting this situation a lot with two users using the same netbook and wireless network connection.
