Yes, frontends for KDE is good and I'll look into this one. Or even more  
lightweight frontends. After all Network Manager is just a service that  
can use frontends that use the Dbus message bus, so if anyone know of any  
other favourite toolkit that has a Network Manager frontend I'll happily  
look into that as well.
