kppp will not launch after today's distribution upgrade

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

After today's distribution upgrade, I am unable to use kppp to access the internet. Even when I try to run it from the terminal with gksudo kppp, I get prompted to enter my password and then after that, nothing happens.

Additionally, I have tried re-installation and even complete removal and re-installation to no avail...I don't even get the prompt to enter my password anymore. kppp just does not work at all anymore.

You're still using the KDE 4.3 version of kppp, which is probably why it isn't working.
