Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
Running Feisty from the repositories, network-manager-gnome just
installed as a dependency of ubuntu-desktop. Seems to be a good choice,
though I note that the icon with which one interacts with it appears not
as a Gnome Panel icon, but rather as a Notification Area icon. This is
something of an abuse of the Notification Area, since it should be for
notifying the user of something they have to attend to (e.g. software
updates) or be informed of (e.g. please restart Ubuntu ASAP after a
Linux Kernel upgrade), rather than an always-on icon which should be
handled by a Gnome Panel icon.
Perhaps this is best a 'wishlist' type bug; please make the Network
Manager Applet an actual Gnome Panel Applet :)
** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

Network Manager Applet appears in the Notification Area rather than the Gnome
