I'm attaching a patch I have sent to the knetworkmanager maintainer(Helmut Schaa).
This patch was sent him in april, but I don't think he have had the time to review it yet.

Please note that this is just a small fix for the pptp plugin, it only covers the most basic part of knetworkmanager<->networkmanager-pptp interaction.
It works for me.

Simple instruction verified on Hardy:
1. Install package build-dependencies: apt-get install dbs automake1.9 libtool kdelibs4-dev libnm-util-dev network-manager-dev libhal-dev libdbus-qt-networkstatus-dev
2. Install network-manager-kde source: apt-get source network-manager-kde
3. Delete a completely wrong debian patch: rm knetworkmanager-0.2.2/debian/patches/kubuntu_09_pptp-service-name.patch
4. Patch the sources: cd knetworkmanager-0.2.2; cat knetworkmanager-0.2.2-pptp_naming.patch|patch -p0
5. Build the package: dpkg-buildpackage
6. Install the package: dpkg -i ../network-manager-kde_0.2.2-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
