AFAIK this has been fixed for a while now, and I definitely can't
reproduce it here on any recent release.
The actual release this was for is also missing, so I'm closing this as
"Invalid": don't know what fixed it exactly; but it no longer seems to
be an issue.
Regardless, freezes in the system caused by nm-applet are just about
impossible, most cases it would be caused by something else (could still
be network-manager trying to do funky things with wifi); to be filed as
new bug reports.

Title:
Clicking on nm-applet locks the entire desktop during wireless
association
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
NetworkManager takes (eerily close to) 30 seconds to connect to a
wireless network: 15 seconds with “one green light” and 15 seconds
with “two green lights”. If I click on the applet during the second
half of this operation, the animation stops and the *entire desktop
freezes* until the connection completes. As a backtrace shows, the
applet has grabbed my mouse and keyboard and gone off to make a dbus
call.
