If firewalld isn't involved:

$ systemctl is-enabled firewalld.service 
disabled
$ systemctl is-active firewalld.service 
inactive

the problem disappears,
however,
if firewalld -is- involved

$ systemd-analyze blame | egrep Net\|firewall
         33.083s firewalld.service
           340ms NetworkManager.service

the problem appears.


Until the issue is resolved,
this simple workaround should suffice:

$ cat /usr/local/bin/nm-applet
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/sleep 10
/usr/bin/nm-applet

Off course,
the amount of delay is specific variable.
