nm-applet will work with something like trayer instead of the GNOME panel,
Any hints on how to progress with this? When I try trayer & nm-applet I get ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** (nm-applet:2096): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0
although you may need to run xmonad under ck-start-session.
As I'm doing only inital trials at the moment, I don't want to exit my session and lose my bazillion windows. Could not running it through ck-launch-session be the cause of the above? From what you said elsewhere ...
It's part of ConsoleKit, which NetworkManager / nm-applet uses to authenticate the console user as being permitted to control wifi.
... it seems that it shouldn't be a problem, because I'm running in a session in which nm-applet was, earlier, happily running on unity-2d-panel, so I'm guessing that the authentication plumbing is in place. Though I did have to kill that panel to stop trayer from complaining with another systray already running Is it possible to restart XMonad with ck-launch-session without losing my current window configuration? Thanks.
