I'm in favor of the change as long as NetworkManager's equivalents to wicd-gtk and wicd-curses are installed by default. Mark brought up nmtui; that sounds like something we should enable. Also, it would be nice to have notifications work (if they don't already) when using nm-applet. I hear that this depends on xfce4-notifyd?
