Bug Description

On a newly upgraded Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome 3.28, the system menu on the right in the top panel is missing entries, if booted with an ethernet connection. If booted without ethernet (with or without wifi) all the entries are there.

Replicable: yes
How to: Boot (or restart Gnome by Alt-F2, r, Enter) with the ethernet cable connected - icons are missing (see screenshot 1).
Workaround: Boot (or restart Gnome by Alt-F2, r, Enter) with the ethernet cable disconnected - all the icons are there (see screenshot 2). Then connect the ethernet cable (see screenshot 3).

Does anybody know what is causing this? How to fix it permanently?

Thank you.
