Public bug reported:
I noticed this bug on two machines with nvidia graphic-cards.
Scenario.
1. nm-applet acts as normal on a machine with compiz turned off: the applet
appears on start every time.
2. when you turn on desktop effects, the following occasionally happens: during
the taskbar load a space gets reserved for the nm-applet, but the applet itself
does not appear, and the space either gets filled with some duplicate icon
(i.e. there appears a second sound icon or a second google desktop icon or
whatever), or it is just left empty - so I get a gap between icons in taskbar.
and of course, this empty space/double icon does not act as either nm-applet or
the icon it shows.
3. but when I remove the taskbar from the panel and add it again, all the
icons, including nm-applet, are back there.
the problem is critical on one of my machines, because there my girlfriend is
sitting and needs the VPN internet connection. and this connection can only be
established manually through the nm-applet. so when she starts the computer
with nm-applet gone, she gets totally confused.
So I had to turn off effects on her machine, and this is indeed not the best
decision.
P.S. this has been happenning on Ubuntu 7-9.10. don't know about 10.04 -
didn't try it, and not ready to install it, yet.
