This is somewhat complicate to decide. I see two sides in this
question:
1) adding Network Manager for LXDE we'll give a more ready to use
desktop for laptop users and give some extra bonus for regular users;
2) LXDE seems to fit very well with users wanting a low-resource
environment and Network Manager is not thin (it bring a lot of
libraries and consumes resources);
So personally I'm unsure which is the best option.
>From my POV I believe we shouldn't add Network Manager on lxde-desktop
task since it's quite easy to do it and we can make the installation
fat for a user that is limited regarting space, memory and cpu power.
What others think about it?
