OK, this is somewhat a feature. Most likely all devices are in /etc/network/interfaces, which basically means that NM doesnt have a single device to manage and thus doesnt display the applet.
I admit that this is a confusing thing, but having an applet that doesnt allow you to do anything wouldnt be less confusing. Remove your configurations from /etc/network/interfaces if you want to use NetworkManager ... otherwise just manage your network using ifup/ifdown command line tools (which doesnt require the applet at all).
