you still have gnome or xfce installed, right?

if so, let's make nm-applet run in lxde:


sed -i 's/OnlyShowIn/#OnlyShowIn/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

this will comment out the OnlyShownIn line of /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop to allow nm-applet to function outside of gnome and xfce.

you can run "sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/nm.applet.desktop" and put the # there yourself, if you dont trust my command :D

log out of lxde, log back in.
