I can make my network manager die fairly consitently, by

and reconnecting my wired ethernet in order to force the network manager
to switch to my internal wireless card and back. The desktop icon
disappears and "service NetworkManger status" reports the service is
dead. I restart it and it seems to start fine with "service
NetworkManger status" reporting the service alive. However, I can't get
the desktop icon back. What's the best way to do that?
The desktop icon is controlled by NetworkManagerInfo, which is started
by your gnome session. 0.3.1-3 should help out with the crashes
somewhat, but I'll be releasing a much better version shortly after FC3
ships as an update. RelEng isn't taking major updates for FC3 at this
time. I believe that the crash-when-switching bugs are mostly squashed
now in CVS.
For the desktop icon issue, just run "NetworkManagerInfo" from a
terminal and it will come back.
