I installed the advanced backlight options app, which then removed my connections manager icon from the system tray. I uninstalled the backlight options app, but I can't get the connections manager tray icon back. I use that to connect to available wifi, so I'd rather not have to open it each time as a separate app. Can someone tell me how to get that icon back in the systray?

Is there somewhere else that resets this to allow me to make this show up in the Status Bar?

As root, edit the file /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-internet.desktop and place a '#' in front of the line "Mandatory=true", making it "#Mandatory=true" and then you can toggle the icon through the control panel.

otherwise, to install nano
change to root then
apt-get install nano
if you get unmet dependencies, than you can try
apt-get -f install
the retry to install nano
If you are not familiar with nano, here is a tutorial
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nano-basics-guide.xml
It's pretty easy to use. Just arrow around in the file to get to where you want to edit, then CNTRL-o to save or CNTRL-x to exit without saving.
