Description wjn 2015-11-03 10:37:21 UTC 
nm-applet is in the "RequiredComponents" of
/usr/share/cinnamon-session/sessions/cinnamon{,2d}.session.
( See https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/blob/2.6.13/files/usr/share/cinnamon-session/sessions/cinnamon.session )

 But users who prefer USE="-networkmanager" do not use nm-applet in Cinnamon.

 Indeed, this inconsistency is harmless.
Because cinnamon-control-center's ebuilds has nm-applet dependency,
there is nm-applet in the system.
 But the users don't want to run nm-applet. 
Also, most of them don't run NetworkManager, so nm-applet is needless.

 (And, if someone changes cinnamon-control-center to add IUSE="-networkmanager"
and drop networkmanager and nm-applet deps,
this will become a harm.)


Reproducible: Always

A proposed ebuild for this already exists on #553946.
