In short, leave 'em alone. Thanks very much! It appears that geoclue is what requires libnm (inexplicably in my thinking) and the others are all in a cascading effect wrt geoclue. On the other hand, I was wondering: is there a benefit to using NetworkManager over wicd? Just curious, because both seem to have the same functionality: I like that wicd provides me with more scanning information. But does this additional information come at a price? Both are from the fedora repos.
