it is hiding from you... try chocolate ...

Try to start nm-applet from terminal, it might tell you where is the problem.
I don't know if xfce is using its own panel applet for NM

That warning shouldn't stop it from launching, right-click on an empty area on the panel and add the notification area thingamajig.

Make sure you have the notification area applet activated, so that nm-applet has a place to appear.
