But what I think Ryan was trying to convey was that for each connection (a.k.a.

I think you're saying it does. I don't use Gnome either, however in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD?rd=FirewallD/#Tray_Applet we see that the Gnome applet can call on firewall-config to do its thing. That's probably all that's required and it would be nice to have a KDE equivalent. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
