This is somewhat complicate to decide. I see two sides in this
question:

 1) adding Network Manager for LXDE we'll give a more ready to use
 desktop for laptop users and give some extra bonus for regular users;

 2) LXDE seems to fit very well with users wanting a low-resource
 environment and Network Manager is not thin (it bring a lot of
 libraries and consumes resources);

So personally I'm unsure which is the best option.
