Huh? Which features exactly are you talking about?

network-manager is a system service, it doesn't require a session bus 
(and by that means dbus-x11).

It's network-manager-(kde,gnome) that require a session bus, so we could 
argue that these packages need a dependency on dbus-x11. But e.g. 
gnome-session already starts a session bus without the need for 
dbus-launch. This leaves only network-manager-kde. But then again, dbus 
already has a recommends on dbus-x11.

Cheers,
Michael
