#1537 Menubar icons lost, raspberry pi

[nerval]

I have installed tightvnc on my raspberry pi 4 and am able to connect from my Mac with remote ripple but the menubar (aka taskbar) icons displayed are only for keyboard commands, not the Raspberry (app manager) , file manager and terminal icon that I see when I'm connected directly.
What am I doing wrong. Can I fix this? Have reinstalled tightvnc and updated the system with no joy. Thanks for the help.

Not sure why but when I started over and installed the raspberrypi OS instead of NOOBS on my SD card it Remot Ripple works properly as well as SSH.

I am having the same issue with the latest version of the Raspberry OS Bullseye.
I tried both solutions written up here:
https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/47645/vnc-on-raspberry-pi-will-only-show-desktop-for-root-user

but neither worked.

Also, the cursor is an arrow (as per my setting) but there is an X underneith it (screenshot attached)

found a temporary workaround on this post:
https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/122579/after-fresh-install-of-raspberry-os-the-menu-bar-is-missing-in-tightvnc-session

in short:
sudo apt remove lxplug-volumepulse
sudo reboot

This is true that:
sudo apt remove lxplug-volumepulse
sudo reboot

Worked to get the Raspberry pi menu bar back but the title bar on individual windows with the minimize/maximize/close handles and the title are still missing.
