Yes, I have a notification area/system tray
with the laptop-monitor in it.

I have the two packages installed:
===================================
NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-gnome-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3.i386.rpm
===================================
and have run "chkconfig NetworkManager on"
to ensure that it runs on booting.

In fact, when I re-boot, I get a window with the message
"The action you requested needs root privileges"
with the relevant NetworkManagerInfo command listed.
I give the superuser password (twice)
and find that the NetworkManager programs are running:
=====================================
[tim at martha ~]$ ps auxw | grep Network
root      2731  0.1  1.4 11732 1652 ?        Ssl  18:09   0:00 NetworkManager
root      3583  2.4  7.8 28444 8712 ?        Ssl  18:16   0:01 
NetworkManagerInfo --sm-config-prefix /NetworkManagerInfo-t5EYCZ/ 
--sm-client-id 10d5c27274000111110565100000035120007 --screen 0
tim       3612  0.0  0.5  3724  664 pts/5    S+   18:18   0:00 grep Network
=====================================

But there is no NetworkManager icon in my System Tray.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
