Or if the nm-applet is installed and set as desktop auto-startup item: /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop and enabled as such, nm-applet "should be" displayed at all times, regardless of whether the NetworkManager is active (running) or not. Literally the same as I proposed for the firewall-applet. For the sake of clarity, I am referring to xfce4-panel's systray, therefore the Xfce, as shown in rhbz 1217797.
