This is also happening to me when I first log on. I'm attaching an image of the top right of my screen, after logging on to my Dell 10v netbook. I'm running the standard Gnome version of Karmic, not a netbook remix.

Just now, the notification area reverted to its proper configuration, showing the volume control, NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996, and the battery indicator, left to right. So some task that's running frequently refreshes the notification area display. I suppose this reduces the severity of this bug to a mere nuisance!
