The desktop icon is controlled by NetworkManagerInfo, which is started
by your gnome session.  0.3.1-3 should help out with the crashes
somewhat, but I'll be releasing a much better version shortly after FC3
ships as an update.  RelEng isn't taking major updates for FC3 at this
time.  I believe that the crash-when-switching bugs are mostly squashed
now in CVS.

For the desktop icon issue, just run "NetworkManagerInfo" from a
terminal and it will come back.
