Really?  I do not know about Evolution or Empathy and surely not
about "almost certainly other app" but this is from two different
F13 installations:

# chkconfig --list NetworkManager
NetworkManager  0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

Both are running desktop and firefox did not require any fixes not to
go into offline mode as long as network was active.  Nor I have seen
so far any other problems.

It may help if you will make desired network interfaces explicitely not
NM controlled as by default they are.
