[xubuntu-users] Network Manager Icon Disappears

[Art]

Hi Rog,

I had the same problem on 3 new installs of Xubuntu. I finally solved 
the problem on all 3 installs.

Simply add the the indicator plugin back into the panel! Mine have been 
running fine for the last couple of months-the indicator plugin seems to 
behave itself nicely and no more disappearing act.

I did an additional 2 fresh installs of 16.04 last week, and those 
installs never developed the disappearing act-go figure:>>

Enjoy.
