[Solved] Xfce4 : some system tray items disappeared

After system upgrade, some item disappeared in the xfce4 system tray, such as network manager, input method and so on.

The network manager applet still do not appear , after the nm-applet command.

Any body know what is the problem?

Post /var/log/pacman.log (use code tags please)

Confirm that nm-applet is running, either by checking your task manager, or

pgrep -x "nm-applet"

Terminal will output a number (the PID) if the process is running

Verify that Status Tray Plugin is still on your panel

Verify in the Status Tray Plugin settings that the icons in question are not set to Hidden

Thank you for your reply. It is the problem of Status Tray Plugin problem.

By adding  Status Tray Plugin , the network applet and the input method tray icon come back.

Thank you!
