Hi,
It certainly happens on Lucid sporadically. This morning I lost my network 
manager applet too. The difference is, none of the proposed methods work. 
(restarting nm-applet, reinstalling the package, or readding the indicator 
applet)

That makes me wonder about gconf settings which turns out to be true.

My very quick and dirty solution is:

- backup your .gconf folder to .gconf-bak and logout
- login. now you have clean desktop with a working  network applet
- To restore your old settings, move your new .gconf to .gconf-fresh
- rename .gconf-bak to .gconf
- delete .gconf/apps/panels and copy the working panels from 
.gconf-fresh/apps/panels

This should work if everything else fails. Unfortunately I did not have
time to investigate deeper to find the exact cause. I hope this helps

Cheers
