Besides it is called nm-applet !). I think this is Bug #23376 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/23376 But its been marked as "Invalid". Some reasoning from the comments: --- Phil Housley wrote on 2006-03-01: (permalink) As far as I can remember the reasons for nm-applet not being an applet: * It has to appear as needed, which an applet can't. * The notification area is the only place really shared between DEs. Back at the time, there were GNOME 3.0 type discussions about this, but no real answers, so it had to be a notification area dealie. --- CK -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
