knetworkmanager lost VPN dialog during upgrade to 0.2.2

Hello!

Since the recent upgrade of networkmanager and friends I cannot use it with vpnc anymore. When I try to start a VPN connection a dialog from gnome-network-manager pops up and wants to store my password in the gnome-keyring, so there is no support for kwallet anymore. And when I edit my connection under Settings->VPN Connections and message appears telling me:

There is no configuration interface for the VPN service vpnc installed. Please check your installation.

If I try to add a new connection I get this:

No native configuration interface found
You have the GNOME configuration applet installed and can use this to configure the VPN connection. Once done you can import the VPN configuration using KNetworkManager. Press OK to run the GNOME configuration applet.

So what has happened to knetworkmanager? I also bumped networkmanager-vpnc from AUR to 0.6.6. Once I had the strange situation that I had networkmanager 0.6.6 and knetworkmanager 0.2 running. Then I could start a VPN connection...

Thanks,
Sebastian
