Some additional info: nm-applet is not just disappearing when changing
networks, it will also disappear after resuming from sleep. I have found
an interim workaround:

sciri@iko:~$ sudo service network-manager stop; sudo service network-
manager start

That will at least get the nm-applet icon back without rebooting. I've
changed the title accordingly.

** Summary changed:

- nm-applet icon disappears from menu bar requiring reboot to get back.
+ nm-applet icon disappears from menu bar requiring 'sudo service network-manager stop; sudo service network-manager start' to get back.

Title:
  nm-applet icon disappears from menu bar requiring 'sudo service
  network-manager stop; sudo service network-manager start' to get back.

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Occasionally when changing Wi-Fi networks the nm-applet icon in the
  menu bar will disappear and require a reboot to get back. On previous
  releases I could simply killall nm-applet; nm-applet & and it would
  reappear but that workaround no longer works.

  Find my self rebooting at least once every two days because I lose nm-
  applet. This problem seemed to start upon upgrading to Vivid.
