>From searching in the archives, I believe this is the correct terminology, but I couldn't find a clear match to what I saw, nor any workaround or fix.
Not even sure what happened. If I did something, it was so quick that I didn't notice it, and I have trouble imagining that I could have done the same mysterious thing twice. If I didn't do anything, then the nm-applet icon just disappeared on its own initiative, which could be something troublesome... The first time, it apparently decided to come back by itself, and I can't say why or what happened. The second time, I had to reboot the machine--but I'm keeping an eye on the critter. I do need to access nm fairly frequently for two reasons, but I don't want to make an issue of those reasons unless someone thinks they are relevant. I actually hope that they've been fixed in later versions of Ubuntu, but this particular machine is an older box and it was getting harder and harder to update each time to the point where I'm now afraid to try any major upgrades... Therefore, I think the two things I'm hoping to find now are (1) a reason why the nm-applet icon might disappear, and (2) an alternative way to access the nm settings window if the nm-applet icon has become invisible. However, all in all I can say that I've been well pleased with nm over the years that I've been using it (and following this mailing list). Good job there. -------------------------------------- Get the new Internet Explorer 8 optimized for Yahoo!
