Following up on yesterday's comment... I started customizing an alternate user account in the hope that I could migrate my stuff from one user name to another just to get around this bug. (If you can fix the bug, then work-around it).
During the course of configuring the desktop for that new account, the damn NetworkManager icon minimized back to a 1x1 invisible image again. So, at least for me, I have no work-around (via moving accounts) and no visable network manager icon. For what its worth, I am running Xubuntu 8.10 with XFCE4 and it is fully up to date according to Synaptic. The customizations I made to my desktop included (in roughly this order): * Move every component on Panel 2 to Panel 1. * Remove Panel 2. * Move Panel 1 from the top of the screen to the right side. * Disable titles in the Launchers to reduce panel width. * Change the window manager theme to 'microcurve'. * Add a new launcher (for Thunderbird). I logged out and back in between my two user accounts as I checked on settings in the old account and moved them to the new account. During one of those logout/login cycles the Network Manager icon disappeared. Note that I did *not* try any shortcuts like copying files from ~/.config in one account to the other. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- [intrepid] 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
