I might add that the networkmanager plasmoid has never been released, it's 
still in 
playground and as such *expected* to be unstable.

I know that at least Kubuntu ships it, and I've already asked them not to ship 
it 
until we are actually confident that it's not totally in flux (which it is 
right 
now). I'm CC:ing kubuntu-devel here, to illustrate why I'd rather not see it 
shipped 
until further notice, and certainly not as part of the default install.

really, the Right Thing To Do is: DO NOT RUN UNSTABLE CODE (unless you want to 
help 
developing it ;-)).
