I had a look to the source, and it seems that all it does is calling ifconfig/iwconfig to bring interfaces up or down. I also think it would be better to ditch it in favor of gnome-network-manager, or a light network-manager client written in pure gtk for LXDE. > Finally... The volume applet.

I also think that pulseaudio and gstreamer should be avoided, as they are unstable (PA) or heavy (GST). Besides that, I think it should be OK to just control the main volume through the panel applet. If the user wants to fine-tune pulseaudio channel volume levels, he should use pulseaudio tools. > In the interest of keeping LXDE modular, I think it would be a good > idea to separate it from Openbox a bit.

I think there should be a "container" for various preferences components. Similar to Gnome's Control Panel. Then there should be components for window-manager, panel, etc. This way it should be "easy" (for a skilled developer :) ) to invoke the particular window manager configurator when you click on "window manager preferences" (or similar). > I cannot stress this enough: CHECK THIS DISTRIBUTION OUT! > > http://slitaz.org/en/ I didn't know it, but it sounds interesting.
