Title:
  nm-applet uses the notification area not like a proper applet

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The program nm-applet's name indicates that it is an applet, but it does not
  behave like one at all.
  I cannot add it through the normal "add-applet dialog".  It must be run from a
  session, or command line.  It uses the notification area, which means I can't
  move it around to properly configure my taskbar like I want.  It doesn't 
provide
  an exit button, or menu option to stop the program _anywhere_.  If you kill it
  using killall or kill it restarts itself and re-appears in the notification
  area.  The only way to stop it is to log out, or to rename the executable and
  kill it, or to remove the package from the computer.

  It provides TWO! menus, one for left click, one for right click.
  The right click menu isn't the same as other applets, and includes preference
  settings directly in the menu rather than having a preference option which
  brings up a preference dialog.
