nm applet is messed up after boot. Manual restart solves that

[Clemens Adolphs]

After updating to 9.10 karmic, the nm-applet appears to be broken.
After booting and logging in, in the "systray" where the applet should appear, nothing is displayed instead.
When I kill the nm-applet and start it manually from a terminal, everything works fine.

Same problem but with Karmic fresh install.
Behavior appeared after a few days, possibly after installing updates.
After restarting Xserver or nm-applet via terminal it works.

Definitely happening here.
