I definitely think this should be fixed for wheezy.

Adam earlier wrote on -devel:

   I tested a good part of Gnome today without n-m and it appears there
   are no regressions at all.  The only differences are:

   * it gets rid of n-m icon in the systray (duh)

   The dependency comes via gnome-core depending on
   network-manager-gnome.

To the Gnome maintainers: given that Adam has done this test, to check
that things are OK without n-m, would you be willing to make this
change to the gnome-core metapackage ?

Thanks,
Ian.
