NM is actually separated into two distinct pieces.  The core NM daemon
itself, which actually talks to the kernel and wireless/wired hardware,
does _not_ require GNOME or GTK by design.  The second part, the
user-facing part, does require a separate implementation for each
desktop environment it might be used on.  There's nm-applet for GNOME,
knetworkmanager for KDE, etc.  I've written pure python implementations
before too.
