nm-applet.desktop is installed according to the fd.o autostart spec  
(into /etc/xdg/autostart).

KDE3 does *not* support this spec (KDE4 does though), so it is  
impossible that nm-applet is autostarted in KDE. It might be  
autostarted in KDE4 though (I'd have to verify that, I don't know if  
KDE4 uses the same session identifier as KDE3 does). But as we don't  
ship KDE4 as desktop in lenny (only the libs), we are safe on this side.

Matter of fact, we could even go as far and remove the
OnlyShownIn=GNOME
line altogether for lenny.


Cheers,
Michael
