Donb't know why you say that, Arthur.  They don't seem to war in any way :-)  
Maybe a joke?  Actually, there was a time after an update when I could only 
get a connection if I had both running - I haven't a clue why, and I can't be 
bothered to fight something that works, so it may be still necessary, or maybe 
not.  I've tried quitting knetworkmanager, and NM still runs, but when I 
reboot knetworkmanager starts alongside NM-applet.  I suspect knetworkmanager 
is handling the WPA bit better than NM-applet, but I don't really know what's 
happening.
