I'm experiencing the exact same problem as described by GonzO in comment #14. This started to happen on my system after the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. I can't remember ever having experienced this on Karmic, but the problem now occurs on almost every boot.
The icon is there, but will either be invisible (you only see a pixel or two) or it appears as another icon (in my case as the volume icon that's sitting right next to it). After removing and re-adding the notification area, the network applet is shown as expected. -- network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
