Icons in panel float to the left

[Jendrik Seipp]

When I log into lubuntu the icons in the notification area are at their correct positions, i.e. at the right, next to the time and logout buttons. Over time the icons float to the left however, making the space for the application buttons very small.

The appended pictures explain it best.

Everytime I reconnect to the WLAN there's some shifting in the panel, so my guess would be that NetworkManager might be the culprit.
