   NM is in rc.M (after the 'elif' following wicd) but does not start when
the system boots. Running /usr/sbin/NetworkManager still does not allow the
applet to be invoked. I'll Google for that error message.

   I've removed the static IP information for eth0 in rc.inet1.conf so when
NM and the applet runs I can configure both eth0 and wlan0.

   Interestingly, now that I've changed rc.modules to point to
rc.modules.local and run /sbin/lilo, clicking on the xfce4 panel icon to
shut down/reboot/etc. partially clears the screen then hangs until I briefly
press and release the power button. This with the same 3.2.7 kernal and
initrd.gz. Sigh.
