And Most KDE users I know also use NetworkManager since its the best 
tool out there (their words not mine, though I would agree).  Getting 
core packages such as evolution using NetworkManager is one way to boost 
the upcoming proposal for NetworkManager into GNOME 2.14 (which I've 
been meaning to get to, I'll do it sometime later today/tomorrow).
