Switching from GNOME to KDE

How can I get rid of nm-applet autostarting, and replace it with knetworkmanager? (without removing, I'm still thinking about the final choice) It is not in autostart folders (.config/autostart, /usr/share/autostart)

Re: Switching from GNOME to KDE

# nano /etc/rc.conf

There, under DAEMONS, you should find networkmanager. Remove that entry or just put a !bang in front of it.

That will completely disable NetworkManager. I only wanted to change the frontend to it.

go here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager#KDE4

That should do the trick. Remember the wiki is your friend:)

Oh, if it was that simple... Of course, I've installed KDE applet. But nm-applet is still auto starting. I don't know, where does it reside in autostart.

Re: Switching from GNOME to KDE

/etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

that's where it is.
