[kde-networkmanager] knetworkmanager and vpn plugins

[Michael Biebl]

Hi everybody,

one area where knetworkmanager is currently lacking in comparison with
nm-applet is vpn plugins.
First, I think it would be great if k-n-m would display an overlay icon
when it is connected to a vpn (similar to nm-applet)

Second, password handling. Atm I have to type in the passwords every
time because the vpn plugins use gnome-keyring internally for storing
its passwords.
I think there are two ways to handle this:
k-n-m could start gnome-keyring-daemon (if existent) and pass the
environment variables GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET and GNOME_KEYRING_PID (which
are returned by g-k-d) to the vpn plugin.
Or k-n-m could store the vpn passwords itself in kwallet and directly
pass it to the vpn-plugin?

Thoughts, comments?
Michael
