I have the same bug.

Not sure what other info would be helpful...

After 16 hours:
~$ ps aux | grep nm-applet
<username> 15089 0.1 7.7 279724 160220 ? SLl Jun30 1:59 nm-applet
<username> 19538 0.0 0.0 4156 848 pts/2 S+ 13:41 0:00 grep nm-applet

I'm running pidstat, and interestingly, memory use was climbing steadily (>1mb/10min) at home with a WPA-encrypted connection but climbing more slowly not that I'm on a WEP-encrypted connection.

I'm happy to help provide info if anyone needs it (I'm subscribed); this bug has been seriously interfering with my use of Ubuntu, since it will use up so much memory that it starts using swap and I either have to kill the power or wait 30 minutes for to get enough control to kill nm-applet...
