A confirmation dialog should do the trick for the newbies.

It basically gives the same results as the previous command (the one I 
changed), although I have tried that command before
(I figured out that the parameter should point to the result of the previous 
command) and it gave me errors.

Now the weird thing - KNetworkManager works (sort of). I mentioned, that I had 
problems with nm-applet remebering the wireless passwords. To fix this, in 
the directory /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d I added the file 
10-org-freedesktop-network-manager-settings.pkla containing

[Allow user XXXX to create wireless connections for all users]
Identity=unix-user:XXXX
Action=org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes

XXXX is of course my user name. Now the wireless connections' settings are 
stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ directory. If the wireless 
connection is set to 'autoconnect', it is activated when the system starts. 
Then the KNetworkManager is able to disconnect from that network and connect 
to it again. However, when autoconnect is false, KNetworkManager still isn't 
able to connect. Moreover, when autoconnect is false, I am able to reproduce 
the error I got previously from the command:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetSettings" with 
signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection" 
doesn't exist

That's why I changed UserSetting to SystemSettings - I saw in the qdbusviewer 
that there is no such dbus object as  
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection

KNetworkManager version is 0.7
