Just checked: no "system connection" is active. Moreover, The
configuration is lost everytime I reboot (maybe I can check if this is
true even only exiting kde). Interesting enough, no "kde demon" is
listed in kdewallet connections, even if in networkmanager conf dialog
I've chosen " safe (encrypted)" I was used to see that connection with
previous version of nm.
I've also looked in .kde/apps and config to see anything strange, but
no files used by networkmanagement were present.
