KnetworkManager vs. Network-Manager-Gnome

Ok. I tried both on a multi-user laptop.

KnetworkManager doesn't always load for some users - have to start it manually with a 'Alt-F2 
knetworkmanager'.
Network-Manager-Gnome won't load if another user is already logged in (ie. second user does a 
'Switch User') but the internet connection is still active - just can't adjust any settings (like 
switching to a different active router). Doing a 'Alt-F2 nm-applet' still won't put a 
Network-Manager-Gnome icon in the 'System Settings Tray'.

So which is best?
I have still to try wicd.....
