What I do to solve this is to kill the process and run it again from console.
killall nm-applet
./nm-applet&
(you can close the console and the applet shoud be still running).
It is so unfrequent and after several days suspending the laptop that I just do this to fix it.
I, too, encounter this problem after my machine (running Ubuntu 12.04, gnome, fully patched) has been running several days, with at least one suspend/resume per day.
It's not troubling enough to me to reconfigure gnome, so I've instead implemented a daily cronjob to reload nm-applet. However, it would be nice to get this fixed, since it's most probably a buffer overwrite or similar someplace.
One caveat for our less-experienced correspondents: nm-applet is in /usr/bin, so './nm-applet &' above will work only if your working directory is /usr/bin. A more general solution is 'nm-applet &'.
I'll probably be upgrading to 12.10 this weekend. so I'll report back if this problem is fixed in 12.10.

I upgraded last Wednesday and stopped the cron job. Since then, I've put the machine to sleep and woken it up at least daily. Throughout, nm-applet has continued to work, so I'm calling this fixed, at least for me.
Re: Network connections window is empty (still have network access)
Alas, it appears that the problem still exists. So, I've re-enabled the cronjob and await a fix.
