Hi Sebas,

Well, I guess that it comes down in the end to cripple Gnome 3.0 or to cripple 
KDE Network Manager. 

Vincent indicated that they require NM 0.9 because of the enhancements to the 
Gnome desktop.  KDE however has a crippled KNM/PNM with NM0.9, but at least 
can work. 

Based on the progress of Gnome 3, I don't think that it would be realistic to 
expect that the whole world will wait with NM 0.9 until KDE is ready. 

As said before for me it is strange to see that still a lot of effort is being 
put into enhancing KNM/PNM for the usage with NM 0.8.

Just my five cents.
