Comment 4 Alin M Elena 2009-01-17 13:46:22 UTC 
To clear a little bit the things.

install the nm-kde4 package, remove the nm-kde3, yast will select nm-gnome.
everything is fine.
remove nm-gnome wpa no connection.
add nm-gnome wpa connection is back.

Comment 5 Will Stephenson 2009-01-28 16:37:57 UTC 
To explain what is going on:

The NM-kde4 plasmoid acts as an interface to any NetworkManagerUserSettings service.

It has its own implementation of this service, but so do knetworkmanager  (kde3) and nm-applet.  If either of those are running, NM-kde4's service cannot start, so the plasmoid shows the connections from the running service.  

Therefore it is not necessary to have knetworkmanager or nm-applet installed for NM-kde4 to work.

If NM-kde4 is not connection to WPA when they are not installed, that's a different bug.

Adding the following as a file to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ solves this issue.
