Network Manager Applet disappeared

[drew einhorn]

Until recently it's been hanging out inside the Notification Area applet.

My panel still has the Notification Area applet, but it's empty!

This is on a Lucid box, a google search says the Notification Area
went away in Lucid.
But it was there and functioning the last time I noticed.  But not now!

I've rebooted, it didn't help.

At the moment I want the Network Manager applet to bring up a vpn connection.

Hmm.  There used to be a way to manage the vpn from the command line,
maybe that will be the easiest short term solution.

Ah, the Network Manager is still in the notification area on my Karmic
netbook.
I'll use that for now.
