Ok, sorry it took so long to get back. I followed the instructions on the wiki and got nm-applet running from valgrind. The thing is, and that's because it took me so long to get back, nm-applet never crashed when run from valgrind.
I realized that, while running from valgrind, nm-applet run / responded much slower than normal, which is normal according to the wiki. So I decided to leave it running as long as possible, as I figured that maybe since nm-applet was running slower, that maybe I wasn't allowing it to run long enough to crash. So I left it running for more than 8 hours, without internet connection. It didn't crash even then. I stopped it (CTRL+C), and now I'm attaching the valgrind.log for this 8 hours run - who knows, even though it didn't crash, it might still be useful, though I couldn't spot anything suspicious at a quick glance. I tested nm-applet again without valgrind and internet connection disabled, and sure enough, it crashed as usual after a couple of minutes. I'm not sure what to do next... maybe play with the command-line switches on valgrind? Hope you guys have some idea on what else can be done to trace this further.
