Am using natty. (normal ubuntu) and I don't think unity does any good.
So I am using compiz with loads of effects enabled and the ordinary
gnome-panel.

The network manager applet seems to crash a few seconds after the crash has 
been triggered. But this time I updated my system it seems like the second of 
these two lines killed it:
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for python-support ...

Reinstalling the network manager with the command line you proposed does output 
the following:
(Reading database ... 210758 files and directories currently installed.)

At the end of this process nm-applet crashes for me, again. Although it does do 
this only every fourth time or so. The fact if there is any network load seems 
not to affect this behavior.

Another hint might be that in order to access my WLAN I have to use the
bcmwl package. But this package contains a dkms kernel module that
doesn't use python or similar...
