I disabled NetworkManager because it is the source of problems which
took me hours to solve: I forced the host name of my laptop to avoid
problems with Xsession.

I explain: suppose you begin your session without any wifi, your X
session belongs to john.doe at localhost.localdomain. Then, for any reasons
you can imagine, you need an Internet connection, the hostname change
and you become  john.doe at xxxx.wifiprovider.net and X refuses to open
graphical apps because the session belongs to john.doe at localhost.localdomain

Forcing the hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network avoids this problem.

Now, when it writes the /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager writes:

search yourdomain.fr (the one you have declared in /etc/sysconfig/network)

and dns does not works......

Unless this strange/wrong behaviour of NetworkManager could be
corrected, I never use this service.
