Besides the gateway information, it would also be nice to see other information about my currently connected network, like information about IP address, DNS servers, netmask, etc.

Display Gateway, Netmask, DNS details in inteface details tab

Here's a patch implementing the requested feature, showing default gateway, broadcast address, subnet mask and primary/secondary/ternary DNS details.
I dislike this implementation for the reason that the height of Plasma NM applet is now way too much (visit the interface details tab, and click on 'Back' button to come back and observe the height increase). 
Lamarque, I see that you have planned to add GSM details in another tab. Should we go that way - what do yo suggest?

I prefer to create a dialog to select which details to show like the one that existed for knetworkmanager. I started to implement such a dialog but has never finished it.

Commit http://commits.kde.org/networkmanagement/a051905b894ee5a3c1becfc9dc78f763df10bb8e implements the details editor and allows you to select to show the default gateway. Just a warning that at least NetworkManager 0.9.2.0 and 0.9.4.0 do not report the default gateway IPv4 address if the interface is using static configuration. I have tested it using qdbusviewer so this is an upstream bug.
