Comment 1 for bug 106724

Hmm, in fact, things start to go wrong with all sorts of aspects of the tray icon when you have previously had the wireless in 'manual mode' and then select 'roaming mode' again. After this, the icon never goes back to 'networking disabled' if you disable wireless networking (it still claims "manual network configuration").

To reproduce:

1) Setup a manual configuration for your wireless card
2) Notice NM-applet now shows 'manual network configuration'
3) Select roaming mode for your wireless card

Now try using nm-applet, and notice things don't work right with the icon - it doesn't quite reflect reality.

Running "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart" fixes the icon display.
