Should both be OK, modulo some smallish fixes that will creep in.

Which main interface are you talking about?

Again, what exactly do you mean?

Over the weekend, I've done the following:

- removed SVGs, use KIcon all over
- fix up tooltips and interface item's title
- less code duplication, new class UiUtils (in libs/ui now)

Next to tackle: 
1 connection progress in the panel icon
2 buglet in sorting connection list, an interface that is connecting should be more 
  important than an inactive one
3 layouting bug where the activatablelist overflows its scrollwidget (looks like a 
  parenting problem)
4 I'm asked more than once for the connection's password, I think knetworkmanager has 
  the same problem

I'd appreciate if someone could look into the latter two (3 and 4), I've been banging 
my head against the layoutwall enough already.

Note that I can't test VPN or mobile broadband stuff. If nobody can do that, we 
should disable it before the release.

Cheers,
