You get this even with n-m installed, if n-m isn't managing your connection.
So for example I have n-m configured for wifi and 3g connections, but
ignoring my ethernet connection, so I can use a bridged setup.  Various
desktop apps misbehave in minor ways: pidgin as already mentioned; chrome
reports "unable to connect to Internet" instead of more nuanced failures such
as "no such site", etc.
