I've already added my 2 cents but for anybody trying to limit libs in the hopes of running a "clean" system. NM adds lost of unwanted packages. On the other hand, if you're already running Gnome then you really should use that and no other. I'm a big believer that one should not buck mainstream with the more mainstream oriented distros. I use XFCE4 so I'm already somewhat off the beaten path.
