I just compiled knetworkmanager from svn, but this doesn't solve my problem.
I have 
StoreKeysUnencrypted=true
in knetworkmanagerrc and now the encrypted networks I connect to aren't even 
listed there, and clicking on the ESSID in the list doesn't open a dialog, 
but does nothing (I think the bubble flashes briefly, no idea what it is 
doing). If I open the "Connect to Other Wireless Network" dialog and enter my 
key and stuff, I can connect to my WLAN

Needless to say there's no auto connect.

Any ideas?
Thorben

P.S.: I hope I didn't break anything while trying to install this via Gentoo's 
portage...
