Not needed for PC-BSD as we have a pc-bsd specific network manager

Not needed for pc-bsd as we have a login manager used by all desktops.

Located in /sysutils/lstask so can be easily added to LXDE's ports list


>     Windows configuration : Obconf

Located in x11-wm/obconf so can be easily added.


>     Networking : Network manager + nm-applet

Neither needed as PC-BSD has its own tools for this.

Should this be left as a PBI?

A port could be asked of this: http://www.delorie.com/store/ace/. But we might be better off finding a beastie version and adding that instead ;-)
