I just got an update to network manager, so I'll have to see if it fixes 
anything.

I had a very seriously messed up kde config, so I had to completly remove any 
kde related config directories to get it to let me login at all.

I just found another couple of nasties

In today's update, the 'suspend' option was removed from the power/session menu, 
so I have no way of suspending my laptop :-( What's going on here? This isn't 
Gnome where they remove user options with each release!

Since I have it configured to NOT suspend when the lid is closed and it's 
plugged in to power, I tried unplugging the power and closing the lid. This 
caused plasma shell to crash, and then when I opened the lid I eventually got a 
second crash popup, and finally it restarted and I got the panel back.

I know this is on the early side, but given how some people dismissed 15.04 
complaints because nobody had spoken up or tested this stuff before the release, 
I figured I'd try to avoid that problem this time.
