I am able to make the icon reappear with (thanks to a long-lost post

That is followed by the message

    ~# nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to
GtkStatusIcon

I'd like to stop this nuisance of the disappearing access to this
important applet, but, how?

Is there a file nm-applet.desktop under the directory
/etc/xdg/autostart?

If not, try install the package network-manager-gnome.

Yes, the file is there. Network-manager-gnome is up-to-date. For good
measure, I re-installed, to no avail.

Is the indicator plugin installed/working? Maybe that's the cause.

Another possible cause is with the sessions. Please check with the
settings manager.

BTW, replying to the list is sufficient.

What is the indicator plugin? I do see other icons on Panel 1. No
Network icon is available to add when I go to Panel > Properties > *Add
New Items.

Package xfce4-indicator-plugin. If it's installed, the icon of the running nm-applet will appears there. Please check Settings Manager | Panel | Items to see if it's already added.


I see nothing in Settings Manager that I can relate to this problem.

Check under Settings Manager | Session and Startup | Application Autostart to see if nm-applet is enabled.
