Comment 41 for bug 1308348

I am not sure whether this is a lxpanel bug, because whenever I enter in LXsession configuration the Network GUI field is empty, while my ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.config does show nm-applet under network_gui/command. When I add "nm-applet" in the appropriate field in the Core Applications tab of the LXsession configuration (GUI), and click Reload, it reappears, but log out/in -- it disappears again.

I don't even have a nm-applet.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart, so that one is not causing the problem.

Adding nm-applet to manual autostart starts it, so it is kinda ok... It's only that I guess the it should be able to start normally as a core app, which it doesn't. :-/

Anyway, the connection works on startup, even without the nm-applet icon in the panel... But when I have it on panel, it uses the fallback icon, while the official screenshots on lubuntu.net show a more integrated one, though it is for a wired connection, which I don't use. So I am wondering whether this icon is somehow related to this bug, or they really made a custom icon only for the wired connection... The disconnected one is still fallback on my machine. I thought, maybe when we run nm-applet from terminal, autostart or similar, maybe we are actually running a second instance of it, which could cause it to use the fallback icon theme... But I don't know really.
