Added the repository as specified, but on running "apt-get install network-manager-gnome-dbgsym libnm-glib2-dbgsym libnm-util1-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbgsym", it can't find the package libglib2.0-0-dbgsym . I installed without it anyway and tried to get a backtrace without it hoping there's something useful, instead of bugging you guys about the missing package and not delivering any bt. Here it is:

The 5 log lines before SIGTERM is me disabling the wifi connection in order to have no internet connection, so nm-applet would eventually crash as expected. I see libglib-2.0 is mentioned in the bt, and since I don't have the version of the lib with debug symbols, this bt may not be too useful.

I'm no C programmer, but my impression from all this and earlier debug attempts and peering into nm-applet source code, is that nm-applet is not really crashing - something else is actually killing it. Maybe network-manager itself?
