Description aderocha 2011-03-09 00:57:03 UTC

Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

In the "connections" list if I click on a established connection like Wired or Mobile Broadband the connection is disconnected but if I click on a established VPN connection, network manager will try to establish a new VPN connection.

It is also confusing not to have in the "connections" list the same small disconnect buttons available in the "interfaces" list. 
User has to guess the behavior of the user interface when clicking on a connection in the connections list.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
click on established connections of types Mobile Broadband, Wired and VPN

Actual Results:  
Behavior is different depending on the connection type you click in the "connections" list
The missing "disconnect" buttons would help user to know where to click if wants to disconnect
