That would be great indeed. And by the way, you say you've rebuilt the NM: have you rebuilt a RPM with rpmbuild or just the configure/make install stuff ? I'm asking because rpmbuild fails with NM on fc5, returning a totally weird error: error: Package has no %description: NetworkManager-gnome I've checked the specfile and *of course* didn't find anything that could explain this. I've already asked on this list but got no clue about this...
