I’m trying to setup an openbox desktop and I’m trying to get a network applet working. I know about gnome-network-manager and nm-applet, and ideally that’s what I want to use. I know about wicd too. Gnome-network-manager doesn’t exist in the repos and wicd, when I try to install, wants to break a few dependencies which I will not allow.
So my question is, WTF is up with the network applets? Why aren’t they in the repos and how can I use them without breaking dependencies? Is anyone else here running openbox or a lightweight window manager? What setup are you using?
