Thank you for the quick response Abhijeet. I am using the Gnome desktop and I ran the network manager nm-applet from the command line as you suggested. I received a message that a "nm-applet instance" is already running. I verified this with the ps command. This process was launched by my initial user1 and when I log in as user1 the wireless icon is present as desired. However when I log in as user2 the wireless icon is not there in the system tray.
I configured in the Network app that all users were allowed to configure the wireless settings (e.g. System-Administration-Network - "enable..disable" settings and rebooted but when I log in as user 2 the wireless icon is still missing for user 2. Is it necessary to kill the nm-applet process of user 1 and then relaunch the nm-applet process with user 2? Is there a way that both users can see the wireless icon and switch wireless services when necessary?
