The thing is that I have completely removed all updated packages and reinstalled
NetworkManager and NetworkManager-kde from OpenSUSE installation DVD,
and those versions did work together after initial system setup.
I have also tried to remove all configuration settings of knetworkmanager
(~/.kde/share/apps/knetworkmanagerrc) from my home directory, so for me I
have rather closely reproduced the situation in which knetworkmanager did work
in the past, but now it does not. So I must have missed something here
- probably
this could be some DBUS update or config file which I have missed.

I will try to write to knetworkmanager mailing list provided above.




As temporary workaround I would ask another question - is it possible to run
gnome network manager (nm-applet) under kde4? if it is possible, then how.

When I start nm-applet from console, I receive the following error message:

** (nm-applet:8134): WARNING **: <WARN>
applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the
NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.  Return: 3


(nm-applet:8134): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed


I have wireless network, protected with password, which is stored in
gnome keyring,
if that makes sense.

Thank's to all for help
