i think this functionality (preventing applications from accessing the internet when
knetworkmanager thinks there is no internet) should be disabled completely.
i'm also affected by this bug, and even when knetworkmanagers manages to detect a ppp connection somehow,
there will be other methods of connecting to the internet (or a LAN which konqueror can browse) that knetworkmanager doesn't see.
