Yah, it is much easier to keep both in the same tarball since (a) it is one CVS repository and (b) it is a single build tree. We'd have to make changes upstream to go to two tarballs. Right now you can compile the daemon without the applet (e.g., for KNetworkManager users) but not the applet without the daemon. Although they are conceptually and technically separate, the tree is not set up that way. And I am not all of NM; Dan should weigh in. I CC'ed him in case he is not on this list.
