Description skierpage 2010-03-22 04:30:28 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

(I'm trying out Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 Live USB)

In System Settings there's a "Network Connections" control pane to "Add, Edit and Remove Network Connections".  I think this is kcm_networkmanagement.

It has no "What's This" tooltips for its items and doesn't seem to  have any help in the help handbook - if I start it from the application launcher then press Help, the KDE Help Center display "The file or folder help:/ does not exist"

This may be a Kubuntu-specific control panel, if so I apologize.  I am in a maze of bug trackers.

Reassign Network Management bugs to new maintainer.  Have a lot of fun, Lamarque!

Do we need more what's this/tooltip/stuff?

I think QML does not have the concept of tooltips so this will never work in the new QML plasmoid, they are usefull in the kcm though and I added some of them to help users to configure complex connections like VPN and WPA2.

For the "Add, Edit and Remove Network Connections" buttons I have tried to add tooltips to them long ago but it does not work. Unless someone indicates where else we need more tooltips/what's this I think we have enough of them already.
