When touching the whole thing, may I suggest renaming the bin:pkg "network-manager-gnome" to another name? Such es network-manager-applet?Please see the quoted text above, and please change MATE's dependency to either nm-applet (if you want the icon in the notification area/"tray") or nm-connection-editor (if you want the configuration editor) or both (if you want all of the previous functionality of n-m-gnome).
Urgh... will network-manager-applet work / behave well if nm-connection-editor is not installed? IMHO, nm-applet is quite useless with nm-connection-editor. Wouldn't it be could to let network-manager-applet depend on nm-connection-editor?
