I finally managed to get NetworkManager to work for a fixed ip as well. It was really simple. Both system-config-network and nm-applet create the appropriate files.
Fedora includes a plugin - ifcfg-rh. This integrates the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts with the NetworkManager settings. The line needed in ifcfg-ethX is:
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
Plugging/unplugging the cable enables/disables the interface.
The use of NetworkManager reduced the boot time by about 20 sec to 1 minute.
Unfortunately, too late for me to check out the same changes on Fedora 10
