NetworkManager applet for xfce? [SEMI SOLVED]
Hi,
I installed NetworkManager by using pacman -S networkmanager.
I do not know how to use it from this point however. My goal is to load the applet into xfce4.4 but nm-applet doesn't work. Am I trying to run it incorrectly? it says command not found.
I also could not find any documentation as to how to use it from the command line and not from gui... thanks for your help!

You need to install a frontend as well. But there is no pure gtk-frontend. Either you need to install the one for Gnome with Gnome dependencies or the one for KDE with qt- and kde-dependencies.

Just install it and pacman figures out the rest. If pacman doesn't drag in any more packages you already have all depandencies installed!

i install gnome-network-manager with pacman, and it seems to install its dependencies as well, but running
nm-applet
fails to load the applet?

the terminal just stops without showing an error or returning to the prompt or anything.

knetworkmanager runs fine, even if it's uglier.

Re: NetworkManager applet for xfce? [SEMI SOLVED]
To get the gnome-applet working in xfce, you should consider to enable first the Gnome services in the session settings dialog. I got it working doing that.
