Subject: network-manager-gnome: allow autostart in non-[GNOME|GTK] desktop environments Package: network-manager-gnome Version: 0.6.6-2 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** Dear DDs, On a different machine I am using lxde [1] and want to use network-manager-gnome. Unfortunately the setting in the .desktop file prevent it from being autostarted [2]. *Important note: Sometimes, some gnome applications has "OnlyShowIn=GNOME" key in their *.desktop files (For example, nm-applet of Network Manager). That key means, only load this application in GNOME. So, that's why they won't be loaded in other desktop environments. Actually, most of those applications can work well under other desktops, but for no good reason they arbitrarily claim that they are GNOME-only. Don't forget to check this key if you cannot get an application automatically started even its desktop file is already in the autostart directory. If that's the cause, file bug reports for that applications to its author and packager, if it's not really GNOME-specific. *NOTE* NetworkManager Applet works fine, just comment out or delete "OnlyShowIn=Gnome" in your ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop . [2] Could you please remove this line from [3] although it is called -gnome. I guess somebody who wants to run a different network management tool would not install network-manager-gnome in the first place.
