Greetings, I'm returning to Linux after almost a decade away, and finally being able to fully XMonadise my environment is a great (though time-consuming) joy: The efficency of a finely tuned and customized, all-encompassing XMonad setup is quite awesome. I apologize if I get some of the current Linux terms long, in what follows. I'm on Ubuntu Oneiric and have been running XMonad under Unity (which seems to be partially built on Gnome?) I see a way forward for getting rid of all Gnome or Unity features and replacing them with some combination of XMonad, xmobar, dzen, conky etc., except for two: - Gnome seems to do a fairly decent job of automatically detecting and managing wireless networks. How would I go about this without Gnome's assistance? Is there something that can be plugged into XMonad which will show me available networks, and allow me to choose, connect and disconnect (preferably without having to touch the mouse, but also without having to type magic incantations involving wpa_supplicant, iwconfig etc.) ? - What's the quickest way of accessing system settings. I've been trying to run without the unity panel and launcher, but I've had to respawn them just to get access to system setting. Thank you.
