Debian testing; xfce systray.

'sudo service network-manager restart' doesn't bring it back. Networking
continues to work, but I can't control VPN connections and disconnections.
This morning, after a reboot (seemed the quickest way to get the icon back)
it let me connect to a VPN but then disappeared again.

Any thoughts?

Patrick

The system tray icon is provided by the program called nm-applet, which
communicates with NetworkManager.  Try running nm-applet from a shell,
and leave the shell open.  If the icon disappears again, check the shell
for errors.
