I installed wicd on my Fedora19. The main reason is that I could not get NetworkManager icon displayed in my tint2 system tray (I am using Openbox3.5.2). Now that I am not using NetworkManager anymore, I have 2 options : either remove it or disable it.

What I get when I try to remove :

```
# yum autoremove NetworkManager

    *[...]*

    Remove  1 Package (+40 Dependent packages)

    Installed size: 36 M
    Is this ok [y/N]:

```

I think it's weird that so much packages can be removed with NetworkManager (I still have gnome3 installed alongside). What's more it wants to remove packages that seem quite important after a peak at the man :

```
chrony (programs for keeping computer clocks accurate)
anaconda (for fedora installation or somethin')
openvpn (why the heck should I remove that ?)

```

etc.

The other option is disable NetworkManager launching on startup, but how can I do it ? I looked at the /etc/rc.d directory (I think this is where a program launched at startup shoud be put) but did not see any trace of NetworkManager!
