It needs the tray.  There are a number of standalone trays, or you can
also run any panel that implements that part of the freedesktop spec.
If you really want a different client, you might want to google
pynetworkmanager.  I'm not sure what its development status is, or if
it even works with the new version of NetworkManager.

PS, check there if you want to develop a 'standalone' program.  AFAIK,
the gnome-applet is in C, so the barrier to forking into a standalone
program is higher.
