Most of that is option if you use traditional tools. I use XDM and Openbox
here, and it works without logind of any stripe. On my laptop, as I've
posted recently, I also use ifupdown and drive wpa-supplicant from its
config. It's simpler than specifying a network explicitly for my common
cases.

My kids tend to use XFCE, and for that stuff, yeah, elogind is an
unfortunate requirement. That said, as they get older they seem to be
taking to the simpler interface I use.
