nm-applet icon in gnome-shell goes to gnome2/fallback mode

[Arief M Utama <arief utama gmail com>]

Hi all,


While trying to debug Debian bug#636137 (or Fedora/Redhat bug#713006) I compiled and installed network-manager 
from git and also from debian's experimental source.

After sort of finding the culprit for the bug (put some notes on both bugtrack), I resort back to the original network-manager* packages from 
Debian's experimental.

But after restarting my laptop, I found out that nm-applet icons has change back 
to gnome2-style icons. No more white-icon-with-black-background gnome-shell 
style.

Tried many things like reinstalling network-manager*, purging and 
install, restarting dbus, restarting system along the way, with no luck. 
The old icon stayed.

As I shallowly understood from reading gnome-shell panel.js, panel icons are supposed to be created by gnome-shell, but somehow it just doesn't work now.

Appreciate if anyone can give help or pointers of what's going on and 
how to fix this.

Thanks.


All the best.
