No nm-applet icon appeared in my panel.
I do have a program /usr/bin/nm-applet
which came with the NetworkManager-gnome.
When I ran nm-applet a space appeared in my panel,
as though something was trying to show itself,
but nothing actually appeared.
I'm running KDE - maybe NM only runs under Gnome?
