Could you please describe more specifically what you want to achieve ?

You may find useful these links:
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerConfiguration
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings

As for user connections (that are managed by nm-applet) you can add/edit them 
via nm-connection-editor GUI.
If you want, you can also use gconf-editor or command line gconftool-2 tool.
