I've found that an explicit restart of nm-applet (with pkill and then just running nm-applet& -- maybe there's a better way) brings the applet back to a useable state. Restarting the network-manager infrastructure, on the other hand, does not seem to fully refresh the applet.

Clicking items in the pull down menu elicits no visible response. At other times, this works fine. I don't know what makes it work at some times and not others.
