Describe the bug
Under some circumstances a duplicate nm-applet icon is shown. This does not happen every time.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
nm-appletis running4a. If you do not observe duplicate icons, then kill the bar and go to step 3.
4b. Observe duplicate icons
System information:

Additional context
Looking through the log the following seems to occur twice among things:
These lines do not show twice if there's no duplicates.
It's worth noting that only one of the tray icons has a context menu, the other shows an empty drop down.
Addiitonally, only one of the tray icon seems to update upon network changes, the other one seems dormant.

I get duplicate icons for telegram-desktop on launch of Ironbar.
ironbar reloadremoves the extra one.@alejo-c commented on GitHub (Dec 6, 2025):
Hi.
In my case the duplicated nm-applet icon appearance is not consistent, but in the initial logs it always mentions ".../nm_applet (duplicate)", even if there is only one instance of the nm-applet program.
