How exactly does that contradict the above statement,
the only bit of my posting you retained?

What I actually said was:
---------------------------
What has happened to Network Management Settings
in recent versions of NM?
Right clicking on the NM icon (in Fedora-20/KDE)
brings up an unintelligible (to me) window
with 4 arrows whose function I do not understand.
---------------------------

Assuming the above is the straightforward and simple tool you refer to,
what exactly is the function of the 4 arrows, pointing N,S,E,W?

---------------------------
Also NM is bringing up small "activation/deactivation" windows
that seem to persist indefinitely unless manually closed.
---------------------------

That was my other complaint.
