Bug Description

I was running Ubuntu Desktop 32bit 9.10 on my HP G70 laptop and did an upgrade using upgrade manager to Ubuntu Desktop 32bit 10.04.

Since I haven't been able to get wifi connection or wired working. The Network Manager applet is missing from the notification area and if I try to run nm-applet manually it says it is already running. I tried killing the process and then running it manually in the terminal and although the process appears to be running it is missing from the panel.

I tried changing the theme to see if it displays in other themes but had no luck.

I tried to log in as a newly created user but the applet is still missing.

Booting into the live cd has the applet working fine so something in the upgrade process must have failed.

I was able to solve this by removing the old panel where the notification area was running and creating a new panel with a new instance of the notification area.
