Comment 5 for bug 151867

Found a simpler solution: change /usr/share/services/knetworkmanager_pptp.desktop to point to the correct service name. I've uploaded my working network-manager-kde source and binary packages to http://www.zanfur.com/knetworkmanager/. (This is in addition to adding the --with-pptp option as described above.) Anthony Mercatante is the official maintainer of the package; hopefully he sees my changes soon. Until then, my package is a drop-in replacement for network-manager-kde that will resolve this problem.

Maintainers: This package compiled and tested for i386 architecture running 7.10, using pbuilder with a base.tgz last updated 2007-10-30, and signed with my private key 0x6A57B07D. No changes other than installing this modified package were required to resolve this issue. I've also attached a diff of my changes against version 1:0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu5. If there's an easier way for me to submit these things, please let me know.

Cheers!
