Package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement
Version: 0.1+git20110422.810bc16-1~bpo60+1
Severity: minor
To summarise discussion on #debian-qt-kde:
Upgrading from the squeeze n-m packages to the pnm package in backports leaves
the kde networking subsystem in a confused state, at least with respect
to wireless connections. This will also happen with squeeze->wheezy and even
for upgrades within wheezy and sid as time goes on.
The user apparently needs know that they should either:
* qdbus org.kde.kded /kded unloadModule networkmanagement; qdbus org.kde.kded
/kded loadModule networkmanagement
* reload the networking component in system settings
* log out / log back in
* reboot
It would be much nicer for the user if one of the following happened instead:
* user session notices that networking components/pnm/n-m have been upgraded
and reloads them
* postinst notifies user sessions over dbus that upgrades have happened and
user session reloads them
* postinst tells user they should log out/log in
* postinst tells user they should reboot, e.g.:
[ -x /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required ] &&
/usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required
Complexity vs ease of implementation...
cheers

* New upstream Git snapshot 28b3101aa4a25dc15e13fed926aff27d62d9346c from
the nm09 branch.
* On upgrades tell update-notifier to show a reboot-required notification
since older versions of plasma-widget-networkmanagement will no longer
work with network-manager 0.9 and need to be restarted.
* Upload to unstable.
