Fair enough. It's just that your previous posts imply that this has
something to do with NM itself, not nm-applet. However I see that
although NM is a Gnome project it is designed to allow a variety of
"info-managers" including GConf, LDAP, KConfig etc. See
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerConfiguration

I'll need to read more to understand how this is going to work when the
same machine is running several different desktops at the same time.
