Hmm; NetworkManager shouldn't really care if nm-applet is running,
except that when it starts NM will pull the list of "allowed" networks
from the applet.  Can you clarify the behavior here?  What happens when
you start NM and let it sit for a while?  What happens then when you
start nm-applet?  Can you post some output from "NetworkManager
--no-dameon" ?  That would give a clue as to why NM keeps disconnecting.
