As you say, dom0 does not have networking, but sys-net does. That is where the NetworkManager applet runs, and the output should be passed to dom0 for display. (Currently dom0 controls all the gui.) In Xfce this works fine but in KDE the mechanism is broker currently. The icon is there, and you can discover it by mousing over it, and interact with it as expected. Once you understand this the absence proves less of a problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Networking widget in KDE on qubes
I recently installed 4.0.1 on my laptop and it seems to be working great, though I'm still working through some of the how-do-you-copy-files stuff and some of the networking stuff. But, it's just a different way of doing things, and that can be learned. I followed the directions in the qubes docs for installing KDE, and it worked great. Thanks to the folk who made *that* work so well. I know that KDE is in bad odor because of its size, etc., but I still like it. And with my shiny new SSD drive, it's plenty zippy for me. I've pretty much figured out how to customize it manually. But I'm having a problem with the networking widget. I apparently can't upload a screenshot, but were you to see it, you'd see that all my monitoring widgets (cpu, hard disk, etc) are working fine, but the Network Monitor is blank -- because there's no device for it to look at. I understand that the desktop runs in dom0, and dom0 doesn't have networking, but (and this is my conceptual problem) that would mean that the network manager must run somewhere else than dom0, right? Where is it, and is there a way to get my networking widget to talk to wherever that is?
