The answer to that question is no.
The question in my mind is: what causes problem?
I didn't notice until just now, but it seems the upgrade from Xubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 removed the notification tray from my panel, causing several icons to disappear. When I manually add the Indicator Plugin widget to my panel, I can once again see several missing icons, including one from update-notifier, though they are unusually small. Manually removing Indicator Plugin from my panel, restores the icons to full size. Strange. Do you see the same behavior?
