I think this issue could depend on the fact i'm using two monitors on my laptop.
I tested when i use only the laptop monitor the applet works fine. However when the second monitor is attached the nm-applet stop working. I don't know if this behaviour can be reproduced on any laptop. Also, i would report what i think is a linked issue here. When i reboot without the second monitor attached the login screen appears fine, while when the second monitor is attached the login screen appears as in the attached picture in this post.
