A first line saying that I often restart NM by nm-applet & seems to have been removed from my expanded report, below heading.

Crashes seem to be accompanied with

    (nm-applet:6848): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 107 was not found when attempting to remove it

as in http://askubuntu.com/questions/506824/nm-applet-does-not-work-ubuntu-14-04. I tried their advice to

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager

which seemed to change something … not sure, maybe a new strange message appeared instead. I don't want to follow their GNOME-related ideas with Lubuntu, and I think nothing is wrong with the "fallback" message after nm-applet &.

Maybe really notable:
 * occurrs with fragile mobile broadband connection
 * the installation is live persistent on USB pendrive, with modest upgradings. I have another similar installation heavily
    upgraded, it behaves similar regarding NetworkManager; I use too rarely to report about it.

Another funny circumstance is that I have sudo rfkill block wifi in an autostart script, but after some breakdowns of connection/nm-applet/NM, LC_ALL=C nmcli nm status reports WIFI to be enabled, and the applet displays available WLAN points.
