Thanks for helping!

But, tt's not that simple i'm afraid. Just to precise:

>From a former fluxbox setup, i moved over to lubuntu a conky file which
nicely monitors all network activities (see a screenshot here:
http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/attachments/01/11/6454542-conkyfenster.png).

To setup i'm used to use ceni which does fine all what i want (and i'd
like to continue with that).

I tried to remove by 'sudo dpkg -r --ignore-depends=lubuntu-desktop
network-manager-gnome' which worked. But then, doing 'apt-get update
&&apt-get upgrade' i had to do 'apt-get install -f' before (which
re-installed network-manager-gnome).

Frankly, i'd like to keep lubuntu-desktop for eventual dependencies when
it comes to update&upgrade.

Cheers!
