Why a tray application?
I do not like the knetworkmanager plasmoid in KDE4. - I think a panel applet will take unnecessary place from the panel, take excess memory. - Also a tray icon can be configured to be hidden, not shown while the applet is always visible. - Also the applet may not be well adapted to various kicker configurations and placement - A buggy applet may cause a kicker crash (unlike a tray app) - In a case of any kicker crash or restart, the applet also will be killed - Some people may not use kicker at all. There are multiple KDE3 docks such as ksmoothdock and kooldock. Also there is a separate application ktray that allows to display tray content without any panel.
Also I wonder why the current knetworkmanager cannot be used at least for interface. I think it has quite intuitive interface.

I don't like very much the interface of old knetworkmanager. However, because developing of new knetworkmanager will take some time, I will try to adapt it to be compatibile with NM 0.9.
