Yes, it works fine, but again it is a gtk program. Is it possible that while 
gnome has a lot of integrated network managers, kde does not have one that 
works? I guess this could be a limitation in the adoption of kde-based systems 
and if Ubuntu has made really simple the adoption of Linux, Kubuntu should try 
to do the same.
