	Ok, so let's bump the version to 0.91 instead.

	We should use DBus to do data exchange between kded and the plasmoid. The 
plasmoid already does that, the kded module has a DBus interface. The problem 
is the other way around, the plasmoid does not have a DBus interface, but one 
should not be necessary as far as I know.

	I proposed to create a branch for NM-0.8 without system connections 
support because Plasma NM is in short of work force. If you take the 
responsability to maintain that part of the code then it should be no problem.
