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
