Hi there,
I see two network icons in the applet panel as shown here:

I've looked for the issue all over the forums and tryed many solutions:
- editing ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf in order to remove the nm-applet string
- removing the nm-applet.desktop from /etc/xdg/autostart (which at the moment I move to autostart-disabled)
- playing with the applet indicator options
but noone worked!

Here is the process:

Is anyone experiencing the same bug?
Thanks for the help.

Edit:
sometimes it boots just fine, with no duplicates.
sometimes it randomly duplicates other icons (redshift here)

in this case the first 3 icons from the left are part of "Pannello di sistema" (system panel), the remaining are part of "Applet indicatore" (indicator applet).

A possible fix would be to edit the system panel and remove every icon except the energy manager (which is only shown by it) but there's no option and I have no clue how to do it via terminal.

It works, thanks. Even if it isn't a permament fix.
