Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala with latest updates
network-manager: 0.8~a~git.
network-
Not sure if this is NetworkManager or the applet that's playing up but when I log in, the applet is not where it's supposed to be. The spot in the indicator area is either blank or occupied by another volume control icon. This makes NetworkManager inaccessible. However the system appears to connect to previous networks.
sudo killall NetworkManager restores the applet, but like said makes it hard to know if the problem is with the applet or NetworkManager itself.
Suspending and resuming does not cause this issue, only restarting.
On resume, the applet says Network disconnected twise (even after it has actually reconnected),

Andreas,
Was that system a clean installation or was it upgraded to Karmic from a previous release? If it's an upgrade, does the same thing happen if you were to create a new user, and login into that user instead after a clean reboot (restarting is important there)?
