So did you cherry pick from [testing]? If so, there is no bug

i've got the same error but my nm-applet works as it should, just all icons are missing.

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area

(nm-applet:13955): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion `dest_width > 0' failed

these are all messages i get from nm-applet of [testing]

he doesn't have networkmanager daemon running.

as for icons, pacman -Qk and reinstall packages that have missing files.

No, I am using testing, I just tried downgrading this package to fix the problem.

I will have stable internet in 2 days, I will try to pacman -Qk and see the results.

This would be a very peculiar miss if I don't have networkmanager running, but I admit that it is possible. I will check that in two days.

Hello,
I tried many times, and it seems that now the applet sometimes occupies a 1x1 px space somewhere on the tray, and sometimes it doesn't (or I am out of luck trying to find it). I tried pacman -Qk but it reports that the only package missing files is dmraid, which shouldn't be a problem. I uninstalled the network-manager-applet and installed network-manager-applet-git from AUR, still with no luck.
I will try gnome/kde later today and let you know.

So, after some more testing, to sum up:
1. The network-manager-applet is running and doing its job, though its icon is invisible and really small. It works in gnome3 through the native network management.
2. No packages are missing files but the icon is still missing.

I think that the priority is no longer critical at all, but do you know of any method of restoring the icon?
Comment by Ionut Biru (wonder) - Thursday, 12 April 2012, 08:14 GMT
do you have gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic?
also do you use other icon theme?
Comment by Michal Kawalec (mkawalec) - Thursday, 12 April 2012, 08:22 GMT
I am normally using xmonad, so I don't really know what icon theme I am using. Gnome-tweak-tools says that I am using the 'gnome (default)' icon theme.
I reinstalled the gnome-icon-theme, but still no icon.

On my system, this is was caused because I had my system tray height too small. Increasing the size of trayer from 15 pixels to 18 made it display correctly again.

Apparently, increasing the height fixes it on my system too. Thank you.
