Are you able to access connection settings from clicking the knetworkmanager 
icon on your tray?

Which things?

I think this is one of the true problem area we have in Intrepid. Many people 
are seeing slower performance, while others are seeing better. Oddly my P4-M 
2.0ghz laptop w/1gb ram, 32 mb ati mobility graphics feels noticeably snappier 
than KDE3 for me, and that is with kwin effect running in Intrepid, no compiz 
or anything in Hardy.
