Those have pushed to regular updates, haven't they ? I have on my F10-kde
computer:
	NetworkManager-0.7.1-1.fc10
	NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-1.fc10
which are the same names as on the webpage you give.

I ran nm-connection-editor, and when I select one of my connections (wired
or wireless) and hit the Edit button, a window opens and right at the
bottom, there is a checkbox titled "Available to all users".

Unfortunately, this checkbox is grayed out and cannot be checked!

It makes sense, as I might not have enough privilege to do so; I tried
"sudo nm-connection-editor", but then I don't see the networks defined by
my normal user. I tried to create a phony connection as root, but even
then the checkbox remains grayed out.

What am I missing ?
