nm-system-settings is a system bus activated service and thus it's lifetime is
controlled by it (which in practice means after a reboot it's gone until
something tries to use it). Not sure how to not start nm-applet, it's currently
started by xdg autostart thingie.
The heavier part in NM is because while in 0.6 the NM-glib had 1 function in
it, NM-glib now actually does something and contains wrappers for all the dbus
interfaces.
Here's the current mess of NM parts:
libnm-util (contains data shared by all parts, part of NetworkManager package)
libnm-glib (requires libnm-util, implements client side GObject interfaces)
NetworkManager (requires libnm-util)
NetworkManager-gnome (requires libnm-glib)
So the only solution here would be to add yet another package,
NetworkManager-libs (or something) which only contains libnm-util. Not entirely
sure it's a good idea, but the current state isn't nice either.
