my gf uses knetworkmanager and she does not care, because does not need to 
know there is something like that at all, so knm is enough for her

on the other hand I'm using nm because knm-vpnc bug for askpass and more 
importantly because knm vpn is missing feature "ipv4 : routes: [ ] Use this 
connection only for resources on its network" which is very important for me 
because I don't wont to have "local" internet radio routed twice over the 
ocean.
