No I am making network dependent services managed by the
NetworkManagerDispatcher.

If you are using NetworkManager you already know that you won't have a
network connection until nm-applet starts ( unless you use a wired
connection and dhcp ).   What is the point of starting core services
that are network dependent if you don't have a network connection?
