In GNOME classic I now have an icon, but it is not the NM icon, instead
it is a square box with the international red circle with slash.
Networking is working - however, because it is in VirtualBox it is a
bridged connection (meaning it's seen as a cable not wireless connection).

Unity (Ubuntu) mode is wonked and crashes. Top panel appears briefly,
crashes start & now top panel is transparent (was working a few days
ago), and no left panel at all. Interesting part is that if I click on
the top panel in areas where I know the menus are, I do get the menu.
Ditto if I click where the left panel normally appears, I get a program
(Firefox for instance) - pretty much at random as I don't know what I'm
actually clicking.

Unity 2D (Ubuntu 2D) seems to work OK. Even NM icon is correct.
Well... it was working OK until "Sorry, Unity 2D Panel closed
unexpectedly" "System problem detected" "gvfs-fuse-daemon closed
unexpectedly" etc. But hey, those all important Facebook & Twitter
updates made it. :-) Oops, left panel is back, and I now have two laptop
battery indicators on the top panel - magic!
