Public bug reported:

v10.2.9-2 has been recently sync'd via Debian.

The nm-applet no longer displays in the panel.  This is because Ubuntu
has a specific patch to nm-applet that assumes app-indicators is the
default display mechanism not the X11 tray icon.

Thus Ubuntu Budgie needs a specific ubuntu only patch to run nm-applet
with the parameter --no-indicator

Note - whilst we do support appindicators - our appindicator
deliberately hides nm-applet because we follow upstream plans which
include a separate network-manager applet built specifically for budgie-
desktop.  Thus we don't want future complications of both the app-
indicator and the separate applet both displaying the same info.

Additionally - those that install budgie-desktop without the
appindicator package will also need to see and use the nm-applet
functionality.
