this is broken in Xubuntu 16.04 also. "ಸతీशः (bdsatish) wrote on 2014-04-24: #7 Same for me too. As a work around: Open Terminal --> "sudo nm-applet" --> Press Ctrl Z --> close terminal."
worked for me. x64 XUbuntu 16.04LTS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-application in Ubuntu.

I tried the workaround mentioned on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Trusty/Gtk3Indicators ("""As a workaround, put "INDICATOR_ALLOW_NO_WATCHERS=yes" in /etc/environment and reboot""") but it didn't fix anything. I can bring the icon into the panel by running "sudo nm-applet", unfortunately this still isn't functional since any interactive dialog needed by NetworkManager (for example a wifi password dialog) will never display, and therefore connecting will fail.
