Yes, well...  What I'm getting at is that if you're either a novice, or you're not thinking, and you have a pure KDE system installed and you think you need to install NetworkManager-openvpn to get access to openvpn management you'll be left scratching your head when it doesn't show up. 

I wonder how a distro like OpenSUSE, who's default DM is KDE, deals with it.
