In the GNOME and KDE Live images, Network Manager is started by default. 
It is not started by GNOME.

Network Manager is a daemon that is DE neutral. nm-applet is used by 
GNOME and KNetworkManager is used by KDE who are both frontends to 
Network Manager.

In Fedora 8, nm-applet is used by KDE too as a workaround in the KDE 
Live images since KNetworkManager does not work with Network Mananger 0.7
