Thank you for the explanation. I will try to contact upstream.


Could you until than put this into README.Debian.

If you use another desktop environment than GNOME and you want nm-applet
be autostarted you have to comment the line

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;

in [1] (systemwide) or in [2] (user).

[1] /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop
[2] ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop


Thanks,

Paul
