Looks like dup of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1256434

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This doesn't just happen in lxpanel, I have a similar issue in Unity. This is an upgrade from 13.10. See attached screenshot.

It's not a duplicate nm-applet icon, rather the next-gen indicator-network (currently only used on the phone). You can just remove that package to get rid of it.

[Matthew Gregg (mcg)]

Michal, what package?

[Matthew Gregg (mcg)]

indicator-network? A few other packages are dependant on it.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Yes, none of those packages are in use on a traditional unity7 desktop. If you want the preview unity8 session, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with the double indicator, otherwise no network control under unity8 will be possible.

[Matthew Gregg (mcg)]

Thanks @saviq, you are correct.

Well we can trivially make indicator-network not start on unity7 based
desktops, or !non-unity8 ones.
