I don't think you understand how the dynamic linker works, or why rpm 
tracks dependencies.  If you turn off the NetworkManager service, 
applications will not be able to monitor or change the network state. 
If you remove the shared object files that NetworkManager provides, then 
anything which was compiled to use those shared objects will no longer 
start.  In the case of control-center, that probably means that the 
"network" panel will either not load, or will cause control-center to 
crash when its load is attempted.  I'm mostly sure gnome-shell won't 
start if you remove those files, nor Empathy.
