Since i was the one who suggested it.. :) I do understand you but, if
the KDE alternative is just giving a very basic functionality and is
having problems (VPN IIRC) then we should consider using what works
well, gives more output, does not suggest (again at the beginning of
an update to reboot) stupid things.

KPK is in my eyes, ugly, unreliable and too basic. I suggested to you
as well to try the latest GNOME-packagekit to see what i mean.
I think KPK is on it's way, but not yet ready.

If we dont want to lose users to GNOME because of not fully working,
suggesting stupid things KDE apps, we might better use the
alternative, even if it's written GTK/GTK+.
By the way, should everybody use the GNOME SPIN as well because there
are no QT alternatives for the installed system-config-* utility's in
the KDE SPIN? ;)
