Well, here's what I see in ps output:

/sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-93af950b-1619-4ce9-a172-645147565970-wlan0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf wlan0

This is after a reboot (to ensure that both the daemon and 
nm-applet were started fresh).  I suppose it's possible that
my NM configure arguments could be at fault, so here they are:

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --localstatedir=/var \
  --mandir=/usr/man \
  --docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION \
  --with-pppd-plugin-dir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/pppd/2.4.5 \
  --with-crypto=gnutls \
  --without-resolvconf \
  --with-dhcpcd=/sbin/dhcpcd \
  --with-dhclient=yes \
  --build=$ARCH-slackware-linux

Where should I begin looking to see what's going on here?
