Note that in the VPN .name files in /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/, we specifically made different sections for each particular DE: [GNOME] auth-dialog=/usr/libexec/nm-vpnc-auth-dialog properties=/usr/lib/libnm-vpnc-properties Feel free to define your own section for KDE and put whatever key/value pairs the VPN bits in knetworkmanager require into that section. NetworkManager does not read these sections, they are there for the VPN connection UI bits to use.
