           Summary: The Network Manager does not show up in the toolbar at
                    the bottom of the screen
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 12.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: SuSE Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: KDE4 Workspace

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.63 Safari/535.7

I am unable to get the network manager to display in the toolbar at the bottom
of the screen in a fresh install of OpenSuSE 12.1.

I installed using mostly the defaults into a VM on my desktop machine and used
YaST to configure the networking to use the network manager.

When I select the widget the icon shows a piece of paper with a question mark,
indicating that the icon is missing.

The only way I can get the network manager to run is to type "plasmoidviewer
org.kde.networkmanagement"

I have made sure that all of the network manager components are installed since
I need this for PPTP VPN functionality.

Note that the VM is running on OpenSUSE 11.3 and I am using KVM.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OpenSUSE 12.1 into a VM then install all of the updates using
defaults (though I set no separate partition for /home). Use KDE 4 as the
desktop.
2. In YaST configure the network adapter to use Network Manager instead of YAST
3. No network manager icon in KDE 4.
Actual Results:  
Unable to configure the network after switching.

Expected Results:  
I expect to be able to see the network manager icon or at least be able to
install the widget.

I am able to reproduce this every time.  The only way I have discovered that I
can bring up the Network Manager is to type

plasmoidviewer org.kde.networkmanagement at the command prompt.
