IMO it is the masochists approach. NetworkManager (the service) and the
client in our case tdenetworkmanager work perfectly fine. I took a notbook
when traveling last week and booted TDE - WLAN enabling/connecting in the
hotel room - without any issue.

GTK people were bad writing GUIs in C, but they got even worse when they
started using pygtk. IMO it degraded to unusable around this point of time.
