F23: no network manager applet

[Lukas Middendorf]

The default netwok manager applet in plasma-nm does not seem to work in KDE4. The old kde-plasma-nm applet is still provided in the f23 repos, but obsoleted by plasma-nm. kde-plasma-nm seems to work, except that kde-nm-connection-editor takes really long (~1minute) to start, outputting "Failed to enumerate BT adapters" in terminal.

The packages from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=651684 should be added to the kde4 copr with bumped epoch to be no longer obsoleted by plasma-nm.

I tried to rebuild the packages (to bump the epoch), but it fails with a build error. Seems to happen while it builds libs/editor/CMakeFiles/plasmanetworkmanagement-editor.dir/settings/btwidget.cpp.o , so again seems to be a problem with bluetooth.

source rpm for kde-plasma-nm that builds under f23 and is not obsoleted by plasma-nm

I solved the compile issue and have a working build with bumped epoch for f23.

The bluetooth issue seems unrelated.

FYI, I use nm-applet from network-manager-applet package ( it a gnome applet ) . I always used nm-applet , you may try it , icons at firsts runs don't appears but after a while they show up, just killall nm-applet and run it again , or resize the taskbar .

I have build kde-plasma-nm along with newer NetworkManager. It seems stable in my test VM. Can you give it a try and report ?
