[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#818803: network-manager-gnome: nm-applet non-deterministically fails to register systray if gvfs is not installed

[Ralf Jung]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.1.90-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Here's some strange behavior I just observed: After uninstalling gvfs, starting
"nm-applet" will non-deterministically not register an icon in the systray. This
is using LXQt as my DE. Once I unstall gvfs again, the nm-applet icon is
registered reliably. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling gvfs a few times,
and this behavior was reproducible. However, I can't really explain what is
going on.

Could it be that nm-applet, somehow, depends on gvfs?

Kind regards,
Ralf
