Binary package hint: network-manager

How to reproduce:
1) Click the the nm-applet icon once, to get the connection menu.
2) Click the same icon once again, to dismiss the menu.
3) Leave the mouse cursor above the nm-applet icon.

Expected behavior: nothing special.

Actual behavior:  The icon area starts to flicker, with some status
message being displayed and hidden so fast that I cannot read what it
says. The phenomenon disappears as soon as I move the cursor away from
the icon.

This not only looks bad, it also makes the CPU usage (nm-applet + Xorg)
climb considerably.
