Hi All,

I created netman.desktop and placed it in /usr/share/applications as
requested. I also git pushed the changes.

Creating a 'netman.desktop' file in '/etc/xdg/autostart' directory,
netman will start automatically.

Should I provide autostarting for netman as instructed just above by
Aitor? The netman.desktop launcher should also contain the --auto-conn
parameter for netman to autoconnect.
