Summary0003577: on gnome-control-center 3.21.92-1kali1 toggling the network switch off and on does not make the corresponding tray icon reappear
Description

With gnome-control-center 3.21.92-1kali1, if I toggle the switch as highlighted in the attached picture off, the tray icon (shown by arrow) will turn gray and display an icon representing a disconnected network connection. If I toggle the switch back on, the tray icon will disappear altogether. Turning the switch back off does not display the disconnected icon nor does turning the switch on once more display the connected icon.

In a few cases (randomly, as far as I can tell) if I toggle the switch on, the connected icon will reappear.

I cannot reproduce this on a fully up-to-date system. Can you attach logs when you can reproduce this?

Run "journalctl > log" and attach the "log" file here.

I managed to reproduce it, but only with NetworkManager 1.4 (which I tested for other reasons).

I got this error:

We will deal with this bug at the upstream level now. I'm not planning to work on a fix at the Kali level. Thus closing the ticket here.
