It's been on our ideas list for a while, and I think someone mentioned
they were working on it a few months ago (check the archives).  I held a
desktop discussion at the last BSDCan, and Kris Moore of PC-BSD
suggested it may be easier to port their network manager
(http://svn.pcbsd.org/browser/pcbsd/trunk/NetworkManager) from KDE to
GTK+/GNOME

In the meantime, I did a GNOME PBI for PC-BSD, and added hooks to make
use of some of PC-BSD's admin tools.  The result was positive.  However,
it would be great to have working GTK+/GNOME native tools.
