I figured something out!  I edited
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 to say
NM_CONTROLLED=yes.  It was set to no.  As soon as I :wq the little
NetworkManager icon picked up on it and gave me a bubble saying
connected.

*and* I do still have a connection.  We're gettin' somewhere, maybe.
I wonder if turning network on changed that setting, and then
switching back to NetworkManager failed to set it back.  I'm hesitant
to experiment.
