Description of problem: After upgrade to NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3235.fc8 the gnome desktop icons for the network and Bluetooth have disappeared.

When adding "Network-monitor" to the pannel is displays a "disconnected network" and when selecting the icon it says : SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3235.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade NetworkManager 2.restart the machine 3.start a gnome session Actual results: no Bluetouth and network icons in the panel. The items are not selectable Expected results: should display display the icons Additional info:
Can you double-check whether you have a "notification area" applet in your panel? Both the BT applet and NM use the notification area to show themselves. Try adding another notification area applet, then logging out and back in.
You are right the notification area was not present. I have no idea what caused its removal from the panel. Thanks Jouk
