This is happening to me as well, namely the Network Manager applet icon. Sometimes I can get the icon to come back when I unplug my ethernet and plug back in, but not always. When I right click the blank space (where the Network Manager icon should be) and do About it says Notification Area instead. When I try to remove it my gnome panel flicks on and off, which makes the mouse focus on and off, basically making the desktop unusable. Had to go to safe mode and add the applet back to the panel. I am running a non-default icon theme and compiz, will test more as a default desktop and post back.
