If you use GNOME, it's autolaunched when you log in.  You should never
need to run it.  We made the decision to autolaunch only for GNOME
because we figured that KDE users would likely not want the applet
running all the time, as they would use knetworkmanager for that.

But make sure you run it as "/usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable" to disable
the session management.  The autolaunch stuff does this by default.
