Comment 24 for bug 1302462

Even though I use Lubuntu, somehow recently my network applet disappeared from LXpanel as well. I could not figure out what caused this or what to do to restore it. Nm-applet is still in my autostart and does seem to be working on boot up. I was unable to start it via terminal unless using root. However, I found this bug which seems to fit the problem I am facing and Lubuntu uses the same network manager applet as Xubuntu. Using the workaround mentioned in comment #15 of that bug does work for me as well. So I believe Lubuntu is also affected by this bug. To be on the safe side, I did file a separate bug report (Bug #1434240) in case I am facing a different issue.
