Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. euse -D networkmanager 2. emerge -a gnome-base/gnome-core-apps Actual Results: nm-applet gets pulled in Expected Results: Since gnome-core-apps is just meta-package no networkmanager related package should be pulled in. There is, of course the package.provided workaround.

However, for those users who are running a different desktop environment, or who want a fallback-only system without gnome-shell, it makes sense to provide an option to disable nm-applet in the gnome-core-apps meta. > 05 Jan 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > gnome-core-apps-3.2.1.ebuild: > Add networkmanager USE flag, enabled by default, to make nm-applet optional > (bug #397635, thanks to Gert Wollny for reporting).
