Notification Icons don't show correctly at startup

[Eric Morgan]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

On startup and resume from suspend, the network manager icon does not show. A place is left for it in the notification area but it is not there nor does clicking that area do anything (i.e. the icon is not just invisible, it's not there). killall gnome-panel restarts the panel and it shows fine after that. I am running gnome-do in docky mode and it could be related.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Could you provide a screenshot [or screencast] of the problem.

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

See attachment for screen shots of gnome-panel after waking from sleep and then after killall gnome-panel...

I can confirm that I have this bug as well.

Find attached, screenshot of the problem.

Happens in Lucid as well.

After my last reboot the icon wasn't drawn properly and seemed to contain some garbage (number 8 and the moving handle, in the lower part of the screenshot). After a suspend/resume it changed to a blank area.

Left-clicking on most of the area does nothing. Left-clicking on the leftmost part opens the NM menu.

Right-clicking on most of that that empty area opens the notification area applet menu, right-clicking on the leftmost part opens the NM right-click menu.
