freeze

Since the latest update in Ubuntu 10.10, the nm-applet has started doing some strange things. I boot up the PC, all is fine, internet works, etc... but after a period of time, approx and hour, the nm-applet menu in the Gnome panel fails to respond. when I click on the icon, the menu appears, all looks well, but when I select any option, eg DISCONNECT, nothing happens. Even the VPN sub menu disappears (no triangle to select the menu.) However I do not lose the network connection...

If I Run this script:

killall nm-applet

/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart

nm-applet

all returns as normal, for a while... weird?

i tried uninstall/reinstall... I even reinstalled Ubuntu, but once the latest updates are applied this issues arises...

Any help?
