[Bug 445164] Re: No action when clicking connection name (GSM + Wireless)

I'm unfortunately seeing the same kind of regression problems with the NM plasma widget. My setup is as follows:
* EeePC netbook 901Go with integrated Huawei Technologies E620 USB Modem.
* Kubuntu 9.10 with 2.6.31-17-generic kernel.
* plasma-widget-networkmanagement 0.9~sn1029768+ag1-0ubuntu1
* network-manager 0.8~rc1-0ubuntu1~nmt1~karmic
* KDE 4.3.85

The modem is properly detected by the kernel and the NM plasma widget
shows the phone symbol (both task bar as well as in the widget menu). I
can click on the menu item for the phone connection and nothing happens.
The logs show nothing -- not even an attempt to establish a ppp
connection. Removing and creating a new mobile broadband connection does
not help, still same situation.

Currently, the only solution is to install Gnome's nm-applet and use
that: the Gnome NM applet works flawlessly out of the box; creating the
mobile broadband connection is a breeze; connecting also. Sigh. KDE 4
has still a long way to go to mature.

Why is KDE 4.x broken when it comes to mobile broadband and also
bluetooth (same situation)?
