KNetworkManager in KDE 4.6 does not connect to wifi network after logging out and then back in

[Untitled No. 4]

Binary package hint: plasma-widget-networkmanagement

In Kubuntu 10.10 after updgrading to KDE 4.6 and also in 11.04 alpha 2, if you log out from KDE and then log back in KNetworkManager canot reconnect you to wifi network. Only a reboot to the computer solves the problem.
I can reproduce this bug every time.

I have marked this as affecting me but just to add a bit more detail, using 32-bit here and no non-free modules.

Unrelated question, where did you find KDE4.6 Packages, the Kubuntu Updates Launchpad Repo is only up to 4.5.5, or did you build from source?

If you're using Kubuntu Maverick, you can get it. Read here:
http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.6.1 (it's already on 4.6.1)
By the way, I think the problem has been solved for me, perhaps with 4.6.1.

Same thing here, Kubuntu Natty 11.04, x84.

When this happens to me, there's a kded process hanging around after I log out. If I switch to a TTY and kill -9 the process, NetworkManager works as expected on the next login. Since I've done this a few times, it seems to have gotten the hint and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in the past few days.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect 713662 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
