[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#970500: network-manager does not start at boot

OK, I have rechecked my configurations. It appears, that network-manager is 
started, when I do a "systemctl enable NetworkManager". However, still /etc/
init.d/network-manager is missing. Dunno, if this is still needed.

I also discovered, that (maybe again?) the problem appears, that the applet , 
here exactly nm-applet got into a problem, when running in LXDE.


This problem appeared in the past, but was fixed. Now it appears agian.

When I am running plasma, then nm-applet gets access to the network-manager 
service, but when I start LXDE, I get the message, that the network-manger-
service is not running. So it looks for me, like a rights problem.

When I do start nm-applet as root in LXDE, then I get access to the network-
manager-service, but when I do the same as a normal user, access is forbidden 
(something dbus and so).

Please note, that I do not use a system with sudo, my installation is some 
years old, where sudo was not existent. However, this system is up-to-date 
debian/testing, and running well. 

I would not have changed to nemtwork-manager, because I was happy with wicd, 
but as wicd was removed from the repo, I chose the alternative.

Thanks for looking at this bug.

Best

Hans
