Description m.wege 2006-10-24 22:55:20 UTC

Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 19.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.21-0.25-default

Knetworkmanager does not appear in the system tray when (that seems to be the reproducable condition) I have a networkcable plugged in from the beginning. Not appear means, I can see a process running using ps -A in the console, it also means that there is no connection. If I kill the process and restart Knetworkmanager everything is fine. There is also everything fine, if I plugin the cable after icon has appeared. Another condition: There is also a wireless connection available. I do not know if this has any influence or not.

The same thing happend to me on FC6. If I start knetworkmanager connect to any network than logout from my kde session at my next login knetworkmanager is running but not visible. I kill it and lauch it from the konsolethe message:
"Very strange! got a DCOPReplyDelayed opcode, but we were not waiting for a reply!" is generated.

This happend to me too.
I always use a wireless connection with the same network but sometimes the knetworkmanager icon doesn't appear in the system tray after the boot, if i kill it and launch it again it works.

Fixed in SVN - knetworkmanager was being restored by session management.

That is so great, thank you very much! 

I this will be soon out with the next KDE or OPENSUSE. That was a really annoying bug.
