Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

Sometimes knetworkmanager can't seem to connect to a network, and displays an error message "Connection failure\nCould not connect to the network fubar\n[OK]".
Unexpected behavior: the user cannot hit "return" or use any other keyboard combination to get rid of the error message: keyboard input is going to a foreground application, not to knetworkmanager. The "ok" button *must* be clicked with a mouse. This is an accessibility problem, per KDE's UI policies (see http://
Suggested fix: turn this error message into a notification, instead, like the "link up" notification and other knetworkmanager messages. These notifications are configurable via ordinary KDE mechanisms, and fade out automatically after a few seconds.
I'll attach a screenshot to show the problem.
Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?
