nm-applet is started in the cinnamon.session and in
/etc/autostart/nm-applet.desktop, this last one is part of the
network-manager-gnome package.

The cinnamon network applet uses nm-connection-editor (and the provided polkit
configuration), and as such it depends on the network-manager-gnome.

Since we don't really need to launch nm-applet anymore we can remove it from
the cinnamon session, but it will still be started by the desktop file.

This last one can be overridden by a desktop file in the user's
~/.config/autostart/ that adds the line X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false (as it
has the NoDisplay keyword it won't show in the Startup Programs
cinnamon-settings).

So, maybe we should request adding X-Cinnamon to the NotShowIn= entry of the
/etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop file.
