I note something stranger in behavior of the NetworkManager and nm-applet. 

Theres two issue: 
* Editing new configuration in nm-applet
  * Can not save the name connection when changed. 
  * http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadetela-17-08-2011-130232.php
  * http://www.zimagez.com/miniature/capturadetela-17-08-2011-130638.php
* No files are saved at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

I supposes this isnt normal. 

NetworkManager 0.8.4.0-r2
nm-applet 0.8.4

NetworkManager has a Gentoo system plug-in since 0.8.2. With the Plug-in enabled, you are not allowed to change the connection name. All the connection information is read from/written to /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
For more information, please refer to the the wiki page
