NetworkManager Applet disappeared in F13

I just upgraded (as a fresh install) to Fedora 13. In so doing I kept the old /home partition.

My NetwokrManager Applet is missing from the top bar.

But if I login instead as a different user, then it is there.

When I did the install, I had to create a (new) user as part of the process. The old passwd file had two users, one called admin, and the other myself. I logged in initially as the new user, and created the admin user keeping the same home directory, user ID and group ID. I then logged out, logged in again as admin, and removed the new user. I then added myself as a user keeping the same home directory, and user and group IDs..

For some reason admin has the applet but I don't.

I also don't see how to add it except as a custom laucher using nm-applet, and that didn't seem to work.

What is going on?

nm-applet is displayed in the notification area. You have probably removed that for that user. Put it back in the bar and the applet should reappear.

I tried to put it back, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. The things I tried failed.

But it just started working on its own; I have no idea why.
