This should be directed to the ubuntu-users list.

Off the top of my head, I think that the nm-applet program runs from
the system tray, so it makes sense to me that it would work outside of
GNOME.  I think it uses the keyring for its password storage (at least
until 0.7, IIRC), so you may still need that.

For what it's worth, NetworkManager's website seems to support this as
well: "The most important pieces of NetworkManager are
desktop-environment and distribution agnostic, functioning just as
well in Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc."

DISCLAIMER: I have not tried this at home. ;)

Cheers,
