How can I get a network applet in MATE panel?
The problem was that I removed the notification area. This includes the volume indicator, the network applet and the battery status. The solution is simple:
Add the notification area to your panel. You do so by right-clicking on the panel, "Add to Panel..." and choosing Notification Area:
This gives you the network manager applet (nm-applet), the sound / volume chooser and the battery indicator.

I have Ubuntu MATE 14.10. Today, I accidentally removed the applet from the panel which lets me choose the WLAN network. How can I get it back?
(The same applet seems to have shown the battery status)
What I've tried
My
/etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop
looks like this:[Desktop Entry] Name=Network Comment=Manage your network connections Icon=nm-device-wireless Exec=nm-applet Terminal=false Type=Application NoDisplay=true NotShowIn=KDE; X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=NetworkManager X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=nm-applet X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nm-applet
When I execute
$ nm-applet nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon
it does not crash, but nothing happens ...
