As described in the initial comment, the bug is very much hit and miss and can even alter between 1st install and a reboot... some work has been done and some theories raised (all in French) We await a report back on how things are progressing.

Julien and melodie have swapped notes and Julien is now on the case. If, like me, you are using wily for production and the duplication is an issue, there is a work around found by Kamilion ....
"if you right click any of them, and select "Indicator Applet" settings, and uncheck and recheck "Indicator Applications", they clean right up and look proper again."

I uploaded a potential fix to ppa:gilir/lubuntu, please test on an installed system to see if you can still reproduce the bug.

I have added the ppa and installed the new lxpanel. After a reboot, I still have duplicate applets.

Thanks for the testing. Be sure to install also lxpanel-
I still can't reproduce it on 2 systems. I think the patch will not do more damage (and we are very short in time), so I'll push it to see how it behaves on a daily. We may adjust it before the release, or as an SRU.
The upload will close the bug, but feel free to reopen if it's still a problem on a daily.

As soon as today's dailies are spun, I'll do a re-install on my test area.

There is a difference compared to yesterday's daily iso tested in a Toshiba laptop that I bought in April 2013,
http://
There are still double icons for nm-applet, but the double icons for the input method have disappeared. Now there is no icon at all for the input method.
