I am experiencing this behaviour, with the following setup

eth0 wired, static addressing via ifupdown
wlan0 wifi, dynamic via nm

NetworkManager, nm-system-settings and nm-applet are all running

When a known wireless net is in range, nm connects and displays as expected. With a new wireless net, the applet is present but not visible. It is possible to get the network menu up by clicking on the sliver that exists for a systray item with no icon, but it's not easy, and is a little silly.

Additionally, the same problem is encountered with a 3G modem. A 'not connected' icon in these states would seem more sensible.
