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?

The desktop icon is controlled by NetworkManagerInfo, which is started by your gnome session. 0.3.1-3 should help out with the crashes somewhat, but I'll be releasing a much better version shortly after FC3 ships as an update. RelEng isn't taking major updates for FC3 at this time. I believe that the crash-when-switching bugs are mostly squashed now in CVS.
For the desktop icon issue, just run "NetworkManagerInfo" from a terminal and it will come back.
