Hey, thanks for bringing us (Xfce) in the loop. For Xfce desktop, there is no
(at the moment) equivalent of either nm-applet or nm-connection-editor, so we
use both features (although I guess nm-applet is the most used).

I'm not sure if there are graphical frontend for systemd-networkd but that
could be an alternative as well (never played with it though).
