retitle #500119 Better way to avoid both knetworkmanager and nm-applet are started in parallel tags #500119 = patch thanks
Dear network-manager maintainer, I am the LXDE packages maintainer. I have a better proposal for you to avoid both knetworkmanager and nm-applet are started in parallel. And could increase it's users. :) The KDE and GNOME are the major desktops so it makes sense to optimize for the common case for me. And from the popcon information, I believe that nm-applet would has more user who would like to uses it in a various WindowManagers and Desktops such as XFCE and LXDE. So my solution is very *simple*, just avoid nm-applet started automaticly in KDE. We can have 'NotShowIn=KDE;' in the nm-applet.desktop file. And do the same, set 'NotShowIn=GNOME;' for knetworkmanager. I attached a patch. I felt now everybody would happy with it. :D Thank you for your good work on network-manager, and I really need to have network-manage installed on my LXDE. :) Cheers, -Andrew
