vpnc (http://www.zid.tuwien.ac.at/kom/tunet/vpn/vpnc/, the WLANIPSEC case)

Sorry, but I really don't have the time to compile anything myself in the next 
few weeks.

Hm, in your blog you don't add any screenshot, so I can only guess: The 
plasmoid is supposed to live on the desktop (or taking up a huge amount of 
space in the panel), right? Well, in my case, I don't have a look at the 
desktop 99.9999999% of the time (the remaining 0.0000001% were when Aaron told 
me back in 4.1 days that to change the design of the panel I had to click on 
the desktop and configure that... This has thankfully changed since. And the 
other times are when I delete files downloaded by firefox.

Anything that forces me to hide all the many windows that are open is an 
annoyance to me as a user.

Cheers,
Reinhold
