Upgrade from 14.04 went otherwise flawlessly. All my existing wifi connections still connect without problem, however if I were looking for a new connection or wanted to get network information I would use the indicator. After my upgrade to 16.04 there is no longer an indicator. What am I missing?

ps shows

3086 ? 00:00:00 nm-applet

If I kill 3086 and type in nm-applet to restart, nothing happens, no output, no command prompt back.

I also realized that the two systems I have that had the same problem had something in common that wasn't true on the other 5 systems I upgraded. The problematic systems both had ClassicMenu Indicator installed. Could be a complete red herring but it also may be evidence.
