Description of problem: Use the DVD, uncheck "GNOME" desktop, and check "XFCE" desktop. Install. When finished, it does not include NetworkManager-gnome, so no NM icon appears in your desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-15 final tc1 DVD How reproducible: Uncheck GNOME desktop on install. Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with DVD 2. Uncheck GNOME, check XFCE 3. Login Actual results: Missing NM icon. Expected results: NM should have an icon when you have logged in. Additional info: It works from livecd because it is explicitly included in the kickstart file. It should work from the DVD install as well.
As far as I can tell, it's never been included in the XFCE group.
(This is not to say it shouldn't be there; just noting the history.)
Given the dependencies of NetworkManager-gnome I'm not really happy with this change, nevertheless I made it as there is no better alternative (wicd lacks many features and is not compatible with NM). I really hope "airconfig" (Xfce frontend to NM) gets finished one day.

Looking at it, the only change in the deps from F-14 is the change of gtk2 -> gtk3, the libnotify ABI bump, and an addition of gtk-update-icon-cache. Admittedly, if the rest of your desktop is gtk2, it's an addition, but it's not a ridiculous number of packages.
Sorry, my bad. I thought the Network control panel was part of NetworkManager-gnome, but it's from control-center. The means that control-center lacks dependencies on NetworkManager and NetworkManager-gnome.
