Description of problem:

Network manager applet "connection established" message appears on the left (!) 
side of the screen before toolbars are loaded.
After toolbars are loaded connection icon shows that connection is disabled 
(red cross), but it's working in yum and doesn't work in any other applications 
like Opera or FF. After clicking on network interface string (3com95tx blah-
blah-blah...) connection manager says that connection is now established and 
icon changes to nornal state; message about appears under connection icon (in 
the right place).
