I had a problem recently, but it was solved when I filled this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454444 .
When I started using systemd, I had a similar problem. It was something related with pam autentication, that I don't remember, but it surely worth to search a little about. In fact, I was connected to the Internet, using networkmanagement, but I had this problem with the tray icon. -- João de Matos Linux User #461527 Graduando em Engenharia de Computação 2005.1 UEFS - Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana
