Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

Hi, I coded the NetworkManager support in Gaim 2.0 Beta 4, but Ubuntu
doesn't build it with support enabled. I just wanted to clarify
something that might be the reason why it's disabled.

Even though it's part of NetworkManager, libnm-glib does _not_ depend on
NetworkManager, either statically or at runtime; since it's a D-Bus
wrapper it only relies on D-Bus being installed. Gaim also recognizes
this, and will do the right thing; for people who do have NetworkManager
though, it's really handy, Gaim will automatically reconnect when NM
signals that an Internet connection is available.
