Ok so if there are no substantial differences:
1) why can't nm do the scan in the time between the user clicks and the menu is
popped?
2) so if I do "while echo 0; do iwlist eth1 scan; done" it is a dos, so nm
should not interest on dos...
3) if you really want to consider dos, you can trigger a N-secons timeout after
the first scan
4) because the user will see results when he clicks on the applet, there is no
advantage at all
in doing scans when the applet is not used (and the user is already
connected), unless
you want to add a "new networks found" notify (but now there is no such
feature)
