The issues has been reported and fixed upstream, please see the bug report at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698901 . What I would like you to do is to apply the patch downstream and make 0.9.6.4-r1 and 0.9.8.0-r1 including the patch. Thanks in advance! master: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=d6f5bd36387d278e60ffc746f79d2b1851fc441a nma-0-9-8: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?h=nma-0-9-8&id=b79db3619e1f71d5e4d5ac7d342bedb6cfc30fd2
Ping, any comments? In case I do not hear from you, I'll dare add the patch myself 7 days from now, i.e. 2013-06-09.
We now have 0.9.8.2 in the tree, but feel free to backport it for older versions if you are able to test on them
