I think this is a known issue, see https://gna.org/bugs/?15246. Unfortunately I haven't got any solution yet because I still don't know the cause. The latest tests showed that it seems to be due to lxpanelctl. Open the console and type:

lxpanelctl restart

You should get the issue.

As a workaround closing the session and restarting it usually makes it be correctly displayed (icons are not displayed but work, or press Ctrl+Alt+Suppr). Alternatively you can start an application that puts an icon in this panel, eg. Empathy. I'm currently working on a keyboard shortcut that would restart the panel when the issue is back.

I wrote a small script that restarts lxpanel and nm-applet and this seems to be working although I hadn't the issue spontaneously happening. I also added a shortcut Alt+F5 to restart the panel without opening the console :). FAQ/documentation now needs updating.
