Likewise - there is no way to specify DNS search suffix in the Network 
capplet, which means that I have to use nm-c-e to edit all my 
work-related network connection profiles.

Keeping it installed by default would be nice. Of course, ideally you'd 
be able to trigger it from within the Network capplet itself (with an 
"Advanced" button maybe). Or not install it by default, the situation 
gnome-tweak-tool finds itself in, but please don't hide it from the 
GNOME menus.
