Comment 1 for bug 683896

I'm not certain yet why it disappears and won't get embedded back into the systray or indicator list as you switch back and forth, but the fact that there is no signal strength is a known issue with the indicator patch to nm-applet.

I'm adding a bug task to libdbusmenu, which is what we use through libappindicator, in hope we can get better tracking on when the required features to display icons in the menus like we do will work (requires supporting GtkImageMenuItem's or some workaround, I guess).
