Someone above suggested switching VT using Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then back again to Ctrl+Alt+F7.
I had this bug where I had two volume control icons and no network manager. I did the above switch and switch back, and now I am seeing just a single volume control icon, and an empty space where the network manager should be. Therefore, in my experience, switching and switching back fixes the "phantom icon" issue, but doesn't fix the main problem which is that some icons are physically missing, and can't be clicked on. Also I get this bug fairly sporadically, but it's always exactly one icon missing and one icon duplicated. Usually I'm missing the network manager and the volume control is duplicated. -- notification area shows wrong icons. erratic behaviour https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
