As I am using KDE, I just want to install only nm-gnome, and its needed files. But, when I want to install nm-gnome using aptitude, it wants to install tons of gnome stuff, I do not want to (for example brasero, lots of libs, lots of gnome-* and more.

If you look closely, network-manager-gnome does neither depend nor
recommend brasero.
If you can specify explicitly, which dependency you deem incorrect, then
this bug report would be more helpful.
That said, there is already #714803 and #717334, so I'm temptd to
close/merge your bug, unless you can provide more information about an
actual unique "bug" in the nm-applet package.
