Well, seeing as how its not restarted when x is restarted after a 
reboot, it has to be restarted via the kmenu access.  And only the first 
try was with both running, all other times it was one or the other.

I just had to reboot because skype's new version *.53 for linux, will 
sit there for several hours gradually eating the system, totally 
un-noticed until you click on a number and then the dial icon.  On the 
first reboot, kdeinit couldn't be started as the lockfiles were 
apparently NOT released when I hit the power button for the first 
shutdown as the box was totally locked, including the toolbar clock 
being stopped.  FWIW, the skype beta version previously installed did 
not do that, ever.

anyway, back online, with knetworkmanager saying I'm running on eth0. 
The lack of integration here is frustrating.
