As i filed this bug in bugzilla, I also got this issue.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537924

Please describe the problem:
When changing location, with location A set to static ip, location B to dhcp,
it does not automatically retrieve a new ip address for location B.
You need to manually run  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to NM applet
2. Set current settings to static ip
3. press the "save current configruation as a location", name it 'config A'
4. Set current settings to a dhcp ip
5. press the "save current configruation as a location", name it 'config B'
6. select location 'config A' from the list
7. select 'apply configuration as current location'
8. press close
9. check that your ip is set to the static ip you've setup. This will be the
case
10. Go to NM applet
11. Select 'config B' as a location
12. select 'apply configuration as current location' 
13. click close


Actual results:
you'll see that your router does NOT automatically give you a new ip. The
command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart must be run

Expected results:
The program should automatically run the command 14.  The command sudo
/etc/init.d/networking restart 

Does this happen every time?
Yes
