- How can you be sure that NetworkManager does not start, if the whole desktop 
is blocked?
  Well, I have gnome-do and keyboard shortcuts which allow me to move around. 
It is only the desktop itself that is locked. I can get a terminal and run ps 
commands ok.

- Does starting KDE, then going to GNOME breaks the same way?
  Yes, in the way described in this bug. If I load one WM first and then 
switch, the other has no network

- Do you see any error messages in ~/.xsession-errors after starting KDE the 
second time? (get it from the console)
  Yes, loads, will not post them here.

"Basically, KDE should not rely on the network to work (obvious). "
 Absolutely, yet it does... I think it is part of the fancy new desktop the 
folks at KDE have created.

"Again, please open a new report and post its address here. No need to spam all 
the people with something that's not stricly the same bug."
    Fair enough, I will. But I still think that what I am experiencing is 
connected. I have now fixed it, but when I first logged on to kde it was 
broken. Running nm-applet fixed it. Sounds like its another effect of the same 
bug to me. If it isn't sorry for the spam. I will shut up now :)
