Here is another bug.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/784756

I'll let everyone know if I publish any updated packages. I'm hoping an actual package maintainer will step in here at some point however.

A workaround for now is to kill nm-applet and restart it. You could do this first thing in the morning every day maybe. When you restart it, do

nm-applet --sm-disable

You can just do this using your own user account. Root privileges are not needed. Alternatively, I think logging out and logging back in should restart the applet.
