I've been a KDE fan for a long time and I even use knetworkmanager for

I find even then it's still inconvenient. using the Wicd network manager ensures compatibility with any WM I choose, and in all honesty, I find an Openbox session with the tint2 panel far more useable than any KDE session has ever been.
