Problem also occurs on my Asus EEE PC 901 - definitively no Nvidia in there...

I encounter this problem after I started using Compiz. One icon is missing (mostly the network icon) another has a fake (i.e. not functioning) copy - mostly the bluetooth or sound icon.

Rather annoying, so I made a workaround: a little script that kills gnome-panel - which is then automatically restart.

     pid=`ps -C gnome-panel -o pid=`
     kill $pid

This script is executed at start-up via 'start-up applications'. When Ubuntu is started, this script is unnoticeable executed and when the notification first appears it is already 'repaired'.
