That was it!

I tried gnome-network-admin and got the "not installed" error message.
Looking in Synaptic revealed that it was not installed. I installed it
and now the launch icon is in System - Administration - Network, where
it belongs.

Now that I can launch it, y'all please cross your fingers that it will
work better after I upgrade to Jaunty in a few days.

Thanks for the pointer.
