Some package-upgrades cured the problem? Or, it was a slight change in apt-get configuration what helped? (For example, disablink backports repository?) Today (and that is not the first case as I remember) the nm-applet started and is working properly. Remained in the panel. Moreover, it connected (via the HSDPA modem) automatically, no manual clicking was necessary. In the past, it always required to manually click to connect to the internet. I hope it will keep this behaviour and willo not start crashing (aborting).

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Occasionally when changing Wi-Fi networks the nm-applet icon in the menu bar will disappear and require a reboot to get back. On previous releases I could simply killall nm-applet; nm-applet & and it would reappear but that workaround no longer works. Find my self rebooting at least once every two days because I lose nm- applet. This problem seemed to start upon upgrading to Vivid.
