So again Network Manager got bugs, this time it is about high memory usage by nm-applet, obvious memory leak.
Again I wonder why NM is used in so many Linux distributions. The only positive thing about NM is its integration with desktops but I would rather take working but bad styled software then highly integrated but very bad NM. When my friends ask me "hey, what is nm-applet and why it takes 200Mb of RAM on my netbook?" I just tell them too install wicd instead of NM, also Ubuntu will still try to set NM back during upgrade to next version.
