Since installing x11-libs/gtk+-3.14.10 library, my nm-applet doesn't appear after log into my Xfce4-4.12 Desktop. Networkmanager works fine and the connection messages of the nm-applet appears furthermore on its defined position. The appearance of the nm-applet could be recreated in different ways: $ xfce4-panel -r using dconf, untick and tick the box again under /org/gnome/nm-applet/show-applet These both ways are not persistent, so you have to do it after every log-in. Choose the default or Raleigh theme, the nm-applet appears immediately and stays persistent until you choose a different theme. A downgrade to the stable version 3.14.9, also fixes the problem persistent, equal which theme do you choose. Takes me long time to sort this out, cause I don't know where to find hints in the system which points in the right direction,as you could read here, in German only - sorry. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1015484-highlight-.html So that's for your information only.

It can be fixed in a session by switching to raleigh, launching nm-applet and then switching back. Also, it is supposedly fixed with recent gtk+:3 upstream releases ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195863 )
The bug is in gtk+:3 so I'm reassigning this to the gnome team. The patch fixing this can be seen at: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/diff/trunk/0001-Revert-image-Optimize-non-resize-changes.patch?h=packages/gtk3&id=e493b4f202286a9b36cc874cebb24c68cae4321c
fixed version is in the tree now
