Hi,

Which questions should I ask during the installation of netman-gui
regarding autostarting and autoconnecting.

I suggest these, but listening to what others have to say is always good.

a) Do you want netman-gui to start automatically on DE/WM login? (Y/N)

b) Do you want netman-gui to connect automatically once it is started? (Y/N)

c) Do you want netman-gui to use a system tray icon? (Y/N)

For these I will need to use template files which are similar to control files.
