Network manager restart..

[Brian Anderson]

I can make my network manager die fairly consitently, by disconnecting 
and reconnecting my wired ethernet in order to force the network manager 
to switch to my internal wireless card and back.  The desktop icon 
disappears and "service NetworkManger status" reports the service is 
dead.  I restart it and it seems to start fine with "service 
NetworkManger status" reporting the service alive.  However, I can't get 
the desktop icon back.  What's the best way to do that?
