[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#717334: Bug#717334: network-manager-applet: provide a simple network-manager-gtk package for non-GNOME GTK-based desktops

[Samuel Sanchez]

Hi Michael,

the current situation of network-manager-gnome is, that it depends
on so many different gnome packages, that it basicly pulls all of
gnome it is installed via apt-get:
185 packages (328 MB) was the count for me today, when i did it, and
for me all these packages are just junk which clutters my disks.
I just don't want libgweather-common to be installed. I want to manage
my network connections and have no intentions to look, how the weather
is in Timbuktu.
I'm pretty sure that most of the dependencies are unnecessary for it
to work and could be removed or network-manager-gnome even made as
stand-alone as possible.

I and I think many others would appreciate that, because I want just
nm-applet and not all of gnome on my systems.

Best
Sam
