Public bug reported:
Network manager icon disappeared. Cannot put it back.
Cannot report nm-applet as ubuntu-bug.
Apport says: "Package nm-applet does not exist"
Yet:
ps -eaf | grep nm-applet
mark 7332 7283 0 09:07 pts/3 00:00:00 grep --color=auto nm-applet
However, putting filter "nm-applet" into KSystemLog app produces no
results.
Cannot report network-manager-applet as ubuntu-bug either.
Apport says: "Package network-manager-applet does not exist"
Yet:
ps -eaf | grep network-manager-applet
mark 7458 7410 0 09:09 pts/5 00:00:00 /bin/sh -e /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug
network-manager-applet
mark 7463 7458 0 09:09 pts/5 00:00:02 /usr/bin/python3
/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk network-manager-applet
mark 7492 7283 0 09:14 pts/3 00:00:00 grep --color=auto
network-manager-applet
Similarly, putting "network-manager-applet" into KSystemLog produces no
results.
I therefore had to report this as a network-manager bug.

The forums are bereft of good fixes for this bug. The standard remedy
appears to be, remove the Notification Area from the Panel and then
replace it again. I did this. The network manager did not reappear.
It is notable, as a user, that the network manager does not appear as
one of the applications you can select in Panel preferences. Is it there
normally? Or has it disappeared from the options because of the crash?
It would be a serious omission if it is not normally there: it is an
excellent and vital application. Users cannot do without it. Yet it
seems they often have trouble with it disappearing. Stands to reason
that something ought to be done urgently to make it a lot easier to get
it going again if there are any problems.
One thing that did happen when I removed the Notification Area from the
Panel and then replace it again was that the dozen-or-so applications
that were listed in the Notification Area preferences disappeared. I
don't know if this is related to a system restart/new session (in an
attempt to recover the network manager) and apps being cleared from
memory.
