The statusnotifier plugin only supports application indicators (https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel … ier-plugin). I believe in debian sid you can run nm-applet as an indicator by specifying the "--indicator" parameter:

nm-applet --indicator

It should then show up in the statusnotifier plugin.

the icon still in xfce panel build-in systray area, not in status notifier plugin  area

edit:uncheck the network item(this is added by network-manager-gnome automanuly without --indicator) in "session and autostart",and add a new item "network" with commander" nm-applet --indicator",and check it
