I see the same on Xubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. Restarting the network-manager service has no effect, but explicitly "pkill nm-applet && nm-applet&" does the trick: thanks @chaghi et al

Restarting the applet also fixes an associated problem that the "Disconnect", "Enable Wireless" and "Enable Networking" menu tick items start having no effect at the same time as the VPN menu fails to display properly. Bugs #930563 and #1076999, and maybe #1069554, seem to be about that, so maybe a robustness fix of some sort to nm-applet will solve a whole bunch of reported problems.
