It still has the behavior described in my original report, even under Hardy Heron. However, I think I now understand that this is its intended behavior. Running nm-applet only adds the nm icon to the notification area and does not terminate. If the nm icon is already there, it still does not terminate but it also has no visible behavior. Running nm-applet does not bring up any GUI windows, such as you would get by selecting from the left- or right- mouse button lists of the nm- applet notification icon, which is what I expected (a GUI application). In other words, nm-applet is not a GUI program in the same sense as, say firefox or openoffice.org or gnome-terminal.
