I run FC5 (updated from FC4) on a Sony Vaio FS640/W.  (This uses the
Intel ipw2200 wireless adapter.)

I decided to use KDE (after years with Gnome) about two months ago.
nm-applet will run in KDE just fine.  I added

 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon

to my start-up list.

All works as expected here with one minor exception: The nm-applet
icon occasionally disappears from the panel, leaving a blank spot
where it used to be.  If I unplug or plug in my wired Ethernet cable,
nm-applet still notifies me that the change has occurred.  I can
restore the icon by manually killing and restarting nm-applet.  It
will also spontaneously reappear.  I haven't figured why this happens.

I intend to give KNetworkManager a try when I get some time, but I
have all NM functionality now with KDE and without KNetworkManager.
