I agree to add the artwork carried out by Hellekin to desktop-base
package. It would be also interesting to configure the '/etc/skel'
folder (skeleton). I would therefore like to suggest some ideas, but
lately i don't have much free time. Today i've been working on appling a
multithread proccess in such a way that "/usr/lib/netman/bin/backend 8"
is called on a separate thread so as to avoid blocking Gtkmm's main loop
(i.e., the spinner). I do not surrender :)

Aitor.
