Hi Rainer,

I edited the netman-gui.postinst script. I am attaching it to this
email as I am not an experienced bash script programmer. You can view
it in the attachment.

netman GUI use --no-tray-icon and --auto-conn parameters. If
--no-tray-icon is used netman GUI does not use a tray icon.
Autoconnecting is enabled if --auto-conn is used as a parameter,
otherwise autoconnecting is disabled.

Edward
