I can confirm this also. Recent installs on 3 different machines, all
with similar results.

Home PC - desktop, 64 bit Maverick(Pinguy version), 2 gig ram, wired
ethernet, no wireless installed 38 hours=nm-applet at 722.6M and
continuing to grow. As stated above, about .1 every 10-15 seconds.
.xsession-errors file full of same errors listed above, current file
size of 82.5M. network-manager-gnome version installed is
0.8.2+git.20101123t161608.f143e76-0ubuntu1

Work PC - desktop, 32 bit Maverick, fully updated, 1 gig ram, wired
ethernet, no wireless installed, after 3 days, memory usage was over 92%
and swap file (10G) was at 95%. and completely unresponsive. At the time
did not know about this issue, so did not look further. Not sure what
network-manager-gnome version installed

Laptop, 64 bit Maverick, 2 gig ram, wireless and wired, never connect
wired since reboot, after 36 hours uptime, nm-applet memory usage at
8.2M and holding. No nm-applet errors in .xsession-errors file, file
size of 18.2K. network-manager-gnome version installed is
0.8.2+git.20100809t190028.290dc-0ubuntu3

All 3 machines are using the default desktop so the icon is being used.
The laptop is a fresh install and has not had any of the updates
installed. I will do that next and see if the problem comes up with an
updated network-manager-gnome. I do seem to recall though that when I
had Pinguy(an ubuntu derivative that uses the newer network-manager-
gnome) installed on the laptop I had the same horrible memory leak. I
originally blamed the problem on conky as I had never used that app
before and had never had the memory problem. However, I am now running
the conky app with the vanilla Maverick and am not experiencing any of
the memory problems.

I hope this helps.
