Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm not sure, because I haven't read through the entire GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, but I think that NetworkManager should become Network Manager (with the space).

The only place I can see that NetworkManager is mentioned in Ubuntu at all is the "About NetworkManager Applet" window. Mentioning it by name seems like it's increasing cognitive load for no reason. You could just refer to the applet as "the network menu".
