[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#818084: cinnamon-session: starting session fails if nm-applet (network-manager-gnome) is not installed

[Christian Pernegger]

Package: cinnamon-session
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

title pretty much says it all. If nm-applet is not present, the
cinnamon session will fail to lauch. Yet network-manager-gnome is only
Recommended by cinnamon.

Please either add a full Depends or, better yet, remove the dependency
on network-manager. I don't feel that it should be required, as a
stationary machine will do just fine with /etc/network/interfaces.

Regards,
Christian
