This fix does not work for everybody... if that's the case for you, 
too.. then try this: go to menu >Preferences > Default applications for 
LXSession, select the autostart tab and scroll to find Network. Uncheck 
it and recheck it, then go to your home folder and press ctrl+h to show 
hidden files and folders, go to .config/autostart, there you will find a 
Network.desktop file right click on it and select Leafpad, it is likely 
that under NotShowIn section it includes LXDE just delete it, save the 
file and exit, then log out and login again this will fix the issue.


I now see the two arrows. instead of the windows 2000 two blinking 
computers.
