I would say that too. But modifying it doesn't seem to help. Do I have 
to wait until I next log in? In any case, it is not obvious which 
entries relate to which panel icon. Especially because only the 
notification area has a useful name (applet-1 isn't all that helpful).

The icons that are out of place do not seem to match any of the listed 
items. One has "tooltip" "Wired Network Connection", the other simply 
"offline."

And therein lies the problem. These icons do not present a "normal" 
context menu. The "offline" icon offers to "Show contact list," the 
other to "Enable networking."
