Hi Rainer, Thanks so far. The netman-gui.postinst is adding the Exec= line without removing the previous one. It is also doing the same thing with the Comment= line.
Here is what netman.desktop looks like: --------------------- [Desktop Entry] Categories=Application;Network; Exec=netman Exec=netman --auto-conn Comment=Display network connection status in the system tray Exec=netman --auto-conn Comment=Display network connection status in the system tray GenericName=Netman Icon=netman Name=Netman Network Manager Comment=Start netman without system tray icon Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Network; ------------------------ As you can see, it is corrupted. I have yet to determine why the --no-tray-icon parameter is never added.
