Getting nm-applet out of the system tray

[whatthefunk]

I dont use Network Manager to connect, but the nm-applet wireless icon wont go out of the system tray. Ive tried to do it through the GUI by unchecking Network Manager in the startup applications: didnt work. I tried to do it by editing the .desktop files in /.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart: didnt work. I deleted all the .desktop files: didnt work. I can get rid of it by killing nm-applet, but then it comes back next time I log in. Is there any way to get rid of this stupid thing outside of purging Network Manager?

Create an auto start to kill it.
Go to ~/.config/autostart
Open the terminal
Type-> lxshortcut -o kill-nm.desktop
Fill in the info, for command put "killall nm-applet"

Nope. Still there.

can you use `startup manager' to switch it of there? (as I can)
