Part of Wireless Icon blacked out etc

[oxf]

I did a clean install of Lucid about three weeks ago. All fine and dandy except a couple of minor quirks that I can live with if not resolvable since everything else is flying!!

After I installed part of the Wireless icon had a small vertical black strip over it blacking it out. Didn't affect fuctionality but looked funny. If I reinstalled the Icon from " add to panel" and the associated indicator applet the missing chunk was one. But it would always reappear after boot up. Then after a few days the problem vanished and has never come back!

Now though I get this:

Immediately after boot up the field in the top panel that contains the wireless icon is surrounded by a dotted line, like its a dotted square around it. Also in the bottom panel there is a dotted line around the field for the Windows List" indicator button even though at that point there's nothing minimised to the bottom panel.

This phenomena only occurs immediately after boot up and as soon as I click somewhere on the desktop or the wireless icon they vanish and stay gone

I'll fix it if I can but if not I can cope. Any thoughts???

Anyone have any toughs about this or how to even start investigating it? I just installed 10.04 on another PC and have got almost the same problem. Slightly different in that sometimes the Wireless icon appears in the panel several times, occasionally not at all. But the dotted line around the Icon in the upper and lower panel is the same.
