Description Charles R. Anderson 2008-04-14 15:04:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

Got a pop up dialog saying "The NetworkManager applet could not find some
required resources.  It cannot continue.".  It didn't seem to crash, though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.7.0-0.9.1.svn3549.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
didn't try

Actual results:

Here are the process that are still running:

It looks like these processes are left over from an older version of NM, since
it was updated on April 11:

You'll need to kill and restart the applet.  This occurs because some icons got
renamed during the RPM update, but you're still running the old applet.  When
PackageKit does stuff, it triggers a panel resize, which causes the applet to
re-read it's icons (since the panel size changed the icon sizes will be
different), and since it's the old applet it can't find them...
