Well, yes and no IMHO. I didn't change anything in my configuration
(neither upgraded my kernel package) and NetworkManager stopped at the
same time:
      * starting at boot (or something like that, why else the applet
        shows up only when I start it from the command line?)
      * managing my eth0 (which I did configure through /e/n/i only
        after hitting this problem)

This is my /etc/network/interfaces
        
        # This file describes the network interfaces available on your
        system
        # and how to activate them. For more information, see
        interfaces(5).
        
        # The loopback network interface
        auto lo
        iface lo inet loopback
        
        # The primary network interface
        allow-hotplug eth0

But, contrary on what is explained in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498931 NetworkManager
reports eth0 as "unmanaged".

Best,
Steko
