Sentry Crash Report:

Description Unknown 2013-10-22 17:28:50 UTC 
Without a scrollbar, there is no visual cue to indicate that it is necessary to scroll the contents to see all connections. It was rather by accident that I discovered this requirement when I otherwise couldn't find my VPN connection in the list anymore.

Preferably, though, please provide a configurable option that allows the window to expand to a size that would list all connections. I'm aware of bug 319198. I disagree with the reasoning. There is no particular requirement that all windows behave the same. It is far more useful for the NM-applet window to automatically resize itself to display everything in one glance than to require users to unnecessarily perform scrolling actions. This is a case where utility -- showing all information -- should be more important than consistency. No one is confused by an applet window that changes size. People are confused when they have to scroll and there's no indication that scrolling is necessary.

1) I added a scrollbar, but before I was trying to use it and it didn't work correctly sometimes. 
2) This is already implemented in 0.9.3.1 version, when you expand some connection, it will move the view so you see all info.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.

I'll have to wait until 0.9.3.1 lands in Kubuntu to take a look at the new version. Right now, some packaging issues are still being sorted. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-nm/+bug/1243822
