Tested with nm-applet and it saved the password fine, into 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-WWOOD3 . So now 
kde-plasma-networkmanagement looks there for the password so it no 
longer asks for the key.

This brings me to another issue. I notice that it doesn't matter if the 
NetworkManager User Settings Service is running not for 
kde-plasma-networkmanagement to work. And nm-applet also works with it 
running where before it would complain that another program was already 
using NetworManager, Is this expected in 4.6.4 ?
