Public bug reported: Occasionally when changing Wi-Fi networks the nm-applet icon in the menu bar will disappear and require a reboot to get back. On previous releases I could simply killall nm-applet; nm-applet & and it would reappear but that workaround no longer works.
Find my self rebooting at least once every two days because I lose nm- applet. This problem seemed to start upon upgrading to Vivid.
