Networkmanager: where is it?

Hello, after installing a3,a4 and now beta1 I haven't found the new network configuration utility yet. O.K., it seems to be an Desktop Applet visible in KDE systray, but I cannot see it. I have a two monitor (nvidia twinview) configuration. Maybe there is s.th. missing? Strange enough I have one desktop in my mother language german while the other stays in english. Is there a way to start it as an independet application (it won't show up by simply starting the binary)? Now, if I want a network interface restarted, I can't do it via 'ifdown eth1', I have to do rcnetwork stop|start. Greetings, Frank

Try xinerama setup ;-) (sax2 -b Xinerama)

First start YaST2 and select usage of Network Manager in the network devices dialog. Then start knetworkmanager (for KDE) if it is not already running. There should be an icon in the tray then.
