OK, I have purged the packages of network manager and installed again:
sudo aptitude purge network-manager network-manager-gnome
sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome ubuntu-desktop
sudo aptitude reinstall dbus consolekit

Now it says (as a normal user):
$ nm-applet --sm-disable
** (nm-applet:6498): WARNING **: No connections defined

I believe it has something to do with my custom settings in
/etc/network/interfaces (see comment #14)
