I have.  It's written in python, and needs a lot of work (fex, last time I
checked it had no support for mobile broadband wireless).

I'd prefer C over python, and I figured that wouldn't be too difficult given
what nm-applet already offers.  Pidgin might be a good example - they seem
to have nm-applet functionality built in.  So going the C lib route would
allow for a cli program (library frontend) as well a building this
functionality into other programs.  In this sense python feels restrictive.
