The notification/tray area will occasionally drop icons. Various reasons: a
restart of the shell (happens after some error conditions) or a problem
with the initial loading of the icon. Many tips/tweaks are available but
none that are a permanent fix. Have found the simplest solution is to log
off/log on or restart.
