Hmm, it seems to be working now with unstable version which is strange
because I have tried that yesterday and it didn't work for me.  

Maybe the difference is that I have upgraded network-manager to
(0.7.999-3) as well yesterday while I have upgraded network-manager-kde
only today (with nm from testing - 0.7.999-2).

Thanks for the tip! 

The only PITA now is that the new nm-kde doesn't see my original
networks but this is another story...
