nm-applet uses gnome-keyring to store the secrets of user connections.
So you might check if your problem is related to gnome-keyring. Do you
have other apps using gnome-keyring successfully?
Is the wpa-key stored in the gnome-keyring (use seahorse to find out).
Do you have separate keyrings?

Can you reproduce the problem with a fresh user account?
