~$ ps aux|grep nm-applet
gary     12569  0.0  0.0   5660   800 pts/0    S+   18:13   0:00 grep
--color=auto nm-applet


I guess it is running.

$ nm-applet --sm-disable
The program 'nm-applet' can be found in the following packages:
 * network-manager-gnome
 * mythbuntu-diskless-client
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

I do not know what this means so I stopped here.

Thanks!!
