Good to hear.

Is it built as such on debian, or did you have to build your own?
(and yes, I know I don't need both nm-applet and wicd, but I'm migrating
from one back to the other, and have >100 saved wifi passwords in wicd,
so I'll need both for a little while)

I see, so that answers my other question somewhat.
This systray thing is kind of confusing to the average user that doesn't
know the internal (reminds me of cut and paste between apps back 25
years ago).
It would almost make sense to have some wiki that keeps track of which
apps are working/broken/need patching/special build options to work with
E vs KDE vs Gnome

In the meantime, sounds like E24 will actually run most, if not all the
applets I'll need.

Probably my best bet is to run stalonetray a but longer until an updated
deb package for E comes out (assuming E nm-applet already has the right
build options)

Thanks,
Marc
