Edward,

It may not be perfect, but it works. I got your latest sources and made my
own deb package. It installed and it runs. I did make a few minor changes:

Had to create an orig.tar.gz - debuild would not let me continue without
it, even though I said to continue when it asked.

Created netman.desktop and added a line to netman-gui.install to put the
file in /usr/share/applications. See sample .desktop file below.

Changed netman.ico to netman.png and added a line to netman-gui.install to
put the file in /usr/share/pixmaps. I changed it to png, because the .ico
file wasn't showing up when I wanted to edit a launcher.

When I built the package, there were some warnings about things like
uninitialized variables, unused variables, etc. If you want to see the
debuild output, I could send it to you.

It did build without any errors, the deb packages installed normally, it
runs, it auto-connects if I set it so in xfce startup applications.

I think that's all. Nice work!

Sample netman.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Application;Network;
Exec=netman
GenericName=Netman
Icon=netman
Name=Netman Network Manager
Comment=Start netman without system tray icon
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;


netman-gui.install:

netman /usr/bin/
netman.png /usr/share/pixmaps
netman.desktop /usr/share/applications
