nm-applet doesn't work the KDE Wallet for example. This is exactly what
I mean by lack of integration.
Yes, it's lack in free desktops integration! But these comment sound like a
hope for a bright future:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16581#c9.
It's important even for non Gnome/KDE applications like Arora.
I don't think "free desktop" should be about competition (yes, we need some
competition to move development forward) but about collaboration!
Freedesktop.org is a great place for it.
