That is how I use it, yes. Although I still don't understand exactly
what "manually connecting" means.

Also, I don't think the two outputs you pasted aren't really usefull
since one is on notice and the other on debug. 
What you describe sounds strange, since the actual link between the
start button and the functionality didn't change, just the button
position. If you keep experimenting this problem, could you please file
a ticket with the steps to reproduce it?

Thanks
