I think it comes down to soft HIGgy goodness. :-)

Given that NM replaces most of netstatus functionality (flashing lights are
the major exception, not that I wildly appreciate those, but they're useful
in some cases), it probably doesn't make sense to run both at the same time.

The About button could live in the connection info dialogue. ;-)

Thanks Dan, NM is really rocking along!
