Thanks William, Since my last comment I'd already realised you can install GNOME's network manager after some online searches and especially after trying Fedora 11 (KDE) beta and noticing the icon looked funny. I had to also install gnome-keyring and gnome-keyring-daemon in addition to the network-manager-pptp plugins. Then instead of ~/.kde/Autostart I edited /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop and appended "KDE;" to the list of desktops in the line that read "OnlyShowIn=" and voila VPN/PPTP works for me and so does static IP config. So I'm glad I can continue running Kubuntu 9.04 since KDE 4.2 is looking very good indeed.
