Start nm-applet, or any other application you don't want to have
multiple copies running at the same time, with a construct like this:
if [ "$(/bin/ps -ef | grep $USER | grep -c [n]m-applet)" = "0" ]
then
[ -x /usr/bin/nm-applet ] && /usr/bin/m-applet &
fi
This way nm-applet is only started once, if it is not already running.
It may be a primitive approach, but it works.
I would even suggest to have a closer look at the AutoStart folder
mechanism which i created for the "Window Maker Live" project, and which
is available separately from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmlive/files/wmlive-wmaker-env_20120308.tar.gz
The build tree archive for wmlive contains an even more up to date
version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmlive/files/wmlive_2012-04-01/wmlive-config_2012-04-01.tar.gz
