            Bug ID: 311484
          Severity: major
           Version: 0.9
          Priority: NOR
                CC: wstephenson@kde.org

           Summary: networkmanagement widget freezes GUI when VPN
                    connection is interrupted
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: spamsuxx@gmail.com
          Hardware: Gentoo Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Plasma Widget
           Product: Network Management

I am experiencing the following bug in KDE  4.9.3, 4.9.4 and  KDE
networkmanagement widget 0.9.0.5.

When I use network networkmanagement widget to establish a VPN connection, and
the connection is abnormally terminated or has server lags, the entire KDE GUI
seems to freeze. After a couple of seconds (20-30) the GUI is responsive for a
short time and freezes then again.

To solve this I have to kill X. I never had the patience to wait for the GUI to
recover.

Cheers,
Bjoern

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to e.g. OpenVPN server with the networkmanagement widget
2. Kill the connection by killing the server or somehow interrupt the
connection
Actual Results:  
The KDE GUI freezes for a long time

Expected Results:  
networkmanagement widget should report a faulty connection and silently try to
reestablish the connection and gracefully show a warning when giving up without
freezing the KDE GUI

This behavior looks similar to bug #291563
