You shouldn't need a full "desktop environment" for that. It's been like this:

Hey, let's make all these important things like managing wireless
connectivity be done on the user's desktop.
Hey, let's make all this stuff work in the login manager by pretending
someone's logged in.

... why not just make the stuff work without requiring
desktop-oriented tools to be running as part of a login session?
Suspending should be handled "behind the scenes".
