In my case commenting out all of the lines in /etc/network/interfaces helped. I entered the static ip data through network-admin again and it seems to work quite well (but it seemed not to work with wired connection until I turned my wifi on and off). I attached my interfaces file (with some minor changes to wifi network name and key). I dtill don't know which line could be the problem for gnome network manager applet...
