      Well - neither NetworkManager nor NetworkManagerDispatecher 
service were ever running. I have found them to be not useful (yet) for 
my environment (changes between wireless and wired with static).

       nm-applet was started by kde - and runs as the logged in user - 
it did not show in system tray or anywhere else far as I can tell but 
magically starts each time I login.
