I use icewm with icewm-gnome-support installed, and gnome-settings-daemon,
gnome-panel, and nm-applet running. I like that slightly better than wicd :/.
As of v 0.9.0, I clearly need to run polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 as
well.

I'm not sure how many other people use network-manger without the full gnome
stack, or if there's a way to detect the absence of
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 or start it for them.
