Description Forgotten User ciXLpmu5Qn 2010-08-27 19:34:24 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b4) Gecko/20100817 SUSE/4.0b-19.1 Firefox/4.0b4

Users of this Lenovo w500 laptop use both Ghome 2.30 and Kde 4.4 desktops. If a gnome users turns off wireless using the Gnome nm-applet, there is no way to turn this back on with the knetwork applet.  Only approach I have found is to either login to gnome to change it or kill the knetwork and launch nm-applet.  These approaches are not for casual users.  need a control in knetwork to do this from the GUI.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  login to gnome, from panel unclick "enable networking" from nm-applet icon in toolbar
2. logout.  
3.Login with KDE (any user) and network icon is greyed out


Expected Results:  
have control to re-enable network settings from the user environment
