I am not much of a c++ coder and when i looked to try and fix it myself found 
the code to be messy and had could not even find where it was trying to bring 
up a dialog to try and work out why it was not working.  So my post here is to 
bring attention to the issue. since it really makes knetworkmanager unusable 
for lots of people (not everyone)
