That is what I thought :-/

That is what I had guessed by try and error, thanks for clarifying it.
In
Plasma NM the agent and the editor are two different process as I said. By
what you are saying above NM calling SaveSecrets() is Ok, what is not Ok is it
passing the old secrets instead of the new ones. I also do not understand how
NM knows the agent is also the editor. I guess even nm-applet implements the
connection editor as a separated process, right?

No, the agent does not call Update(), the editor does. They are two
different process. The editor knows the secrets and the agent does not by the
time Update() is called. Update() works as expected in 0.8.999 as far as I
remember. Since 0.8.9997 NM passes the old secrets in SaveSecrets(), which is
strange. I do not see why it should pass the old secrets in SaveSecrets(). Or
it passes the new secrets or does not call SaveSecrets() at all.

Probably. I am busy doing other things these days, next week I will try
to investigate this problem further, but if it really is a bug in NM then you
have more chances to find it than me.
