Description Muhammad Tailounie 2016-04-05 17:48:34 CEST 
Description of problem:
In Plasma and Cinnamon. The netapplet icon disappears on the systray. Still I can get the tool-tip if I point the mouse to the space where it should show.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
drakx-net-applet 2.25

How reproducible:
Just use your desktop. At a certain point it says connection lost then connection established, but the icon disappears and never comes back.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log out
2. Log in
3. Wait

Might be related to bug 17592 (unclickable mgaapplet + net_applet icons)

"Disappears", or crashes? :)

19/1/17 classical 64-bit MAgeia-6-sta2 still shows a Netapplet in systray that does not respond to selection. Have to us MCC/Network to start it.
  Also, once WiFi is connected, the netapplet icon disappears from systray!
