NM by design is completely DE neutral. It wasn't designed by 
"gnome.org". It was designed and continues to be  maintained by Red Hat 
developers.

It was not in my earlier post because the question doesn't make any

connection and policy. It can't possibly have a graphical frontend in 
runlevel 3.
