Dunno.  I just ripped it out and use the attached script instead.  I did 
an "add applet to panel" to make a button to run it via sudo.  It's annoying 
that it prompts me for a password, but not enough to put more effort into it.

I'll try again next release, I suppose.  (I really should try the betas this 
time...)

The fact that there's code in konqueror and such to LET this thing shut down 
the entire network is _stupid_.  It shouldn't have the OPPORTUNITY to 
malfunction in such a way that unrelated programs stop listening to the 
network.  That's brain-damaged at the design level.  What were they smoking?  
Attempts to access the network return "no route to host" immediately when 
there are no active interfaces.  You don't need any sort of "yes dbus, there 
is a network interface" flag.  It's just something extra to break!
