Network manager should either somehow check to see if the user has an internet connection (Ping a server lookup some address) or it should allow the user to check mark something saying I AM CONNECTED.
Applications like gaim and evolution do not work properly due to this because they are set to monitor network manager's connection status.

To observe this behaviour set up a static IP.
