I use networkmanager with fixed ip addresses with KDE. The setup I have does not automatically connect to any network, wireless or wired. This arrangement means I have to start knetwormanager, which with it being configured, I use to create network connection(s). The system network configuration has no devices configured, although I have configured DNS and hosts as this makes NFS configuration slightly easier. It has it's quirky problems which I know how to work round, but I'm more comfortable having networking operated this way, even using cnetworkmanager on occasion, indirectly via knemo. None of this requires any editing of system files. Keep exploring,and I'm sure you'll find what suits you.
