I want knetwork manager to start automatically every time I login KDE4, I tried this way:

Configure Desktop -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart -> Add program -> KNetworkManager 

After doing above, I log out and in, it did not start. If I put a link to the application at ~/.config/autostart/, the knetwork manager successfully started when log in. So I supposed either the Autostart or the knetwork manager should be fixed.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Desktop -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart -> Add program -> KNetworkManager 
2. log out and in
Actual Results:  
the knetwork manager did not start automatically

Expected Results:  
start automatically in this manner.

I had thi kind of problem (similar but maybe not the same: judge yourself).

Using "Administrator Settings" GUI, section "Network settings", to change back and forth the option of using or not using KNetworkmanager, the file "~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc" got "corrupted".
In particular at the end of it, this section:
...
[General]
Autostart=false
Connections={a7248e92-81eb-4000-a59b-ca4080c26db4},{6a45a788-6d80-4000-bf9c-86d361966e6c},{8e469100-f7d7-4000-ae07-3e515a4eaddc}
SecretStorageMode=PlainText
...

got a lot of multiple "Autostart=false", "Autostart=true" entries.

I solved removing all of them except one.

Would you mind checking your file?

Bye, bye.
