NetworkManager applet broken after upgrading from 0.8.1-2 to 0.8.2-2

After upgrading both networkmanager and network-manager-applet, i am unable to connect to any wifi networks.

[2010-12-15 23:22] upgraded networkmanager (0.8.1-1 -> 0.8.3-0.20101130)
[2010-12-15 23:23] upgraded network-manager-applet (0.8.1-2 -> 0.8.2-2)

The applet detects and shows networks, but then keeps trying to connect indefinitely without success.
What's the problem here?

I'm not the only one having this problem:

So it seems most likely a problem with nm-applet only working if you run it as root (sudo nm-applet).

I have no experience with this area. Any idea what might be wrong? Perhaps something to do with PAM?

So what's the point in starting a new thread, when you know its a bug as you yourself have pointed to the bug report in both the threads that you listed?

Aah, you're right. Sorry. Haven't heard anything regarding this though, and it's a fairly distracting problem.
