nm-applet display doesn't correspond to connection status

[macho]

nm-applet displays the wrong icon and shows no wireless networks post-xenial upgrade, although the network manager does continue to auto-connect to wifi. At first, it showed the greyed-out wifi icon, though it was connected, and now it's showing the wired connection icon despite only being connected through wifi (see the attached file).

This is with the amd64 network-manager-gnome version 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04

Thanks for your help!

Thanks so much. The bug started to be more annoying when trying to connect to new wifi networks. The fix works great, and is much appreciated.

Hmm, actually now I've lost the network list again, despite being connected. The icon displayed is the Wifi icon with no signal. Anyone else still experiencing this?
