no wifi icon in Status tray plugin on login

[Arun K Thawait]

Using Xubuntu 21.04 i.e. XFCE 4.16 . There is no wifi icon at System tray on login but if I restart the panel it will appear. The wifi works fine even though there is no icon.

Also happening here on xubuntu 21.10 with xfce4-panel 4.16.3 on a default install.

Status Tray Plugin isn't showing any icons (no wifi or bluetooth) on most reboot and logins. Sometimes it does, but mostly not. Both bluetooth and wifi are indeed working. A panel reset returns the icons:

xfce4-panel -r

I've had to run that on most reboots so I ended up making a launcher for it.

Not sure what other info is needed but happy to provide.

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