Tiago Pimenta (tiagoapimenta) wrote : Duplicated nm-applet on panel due to miniapps indicator

What happen: On launching desktop there are two network tray icons depending on how fast you started it.
What is expected: To have only one network tray icon whatever the way the desktop is started.

Description:
The miniapplication indicator's preference have two options: sound menu and application's indicator, the last show the network icon, as well as other indicators (I use Clipit and Multiload), so if unchecked it will hide those as well besides the network one.

There is another tray panel for notification area, bringing energy icon, and network again. This panel has no preference, so, if disabled will hide both icons.

I noticed that depending on how fast you boot your desktop, or if you installed with the option not to ask the password on login enabled, it may, sometimes, appear to be correct, with one single network icon.

If nm-applet is killed and then relaunched it seems to fix the problem, but it's a workaround, it should not be the default behaviour.
