This works fine over here. I rather have networking issues when coming back 
after resume.

This is normal, because it is coded in a generic way. There is a config dialog 
where you can deselect those and also you can adapt the ordering of devices.

Yes, it is not supported right now. Do you have an idea on how to visually 
represent the states in one icon (and still be working with an undefined 
number of devices)? However, an extender might be a way to go, as it is being 
used for the device plasmoid.

Which KDE version do you have? Does the layout work for you? I have sizing 
issues here and sometimes one of the checkboxes is misplaced. I don't have any 
idea on how to fix that. Might be a Qt 4.4 bug.

(your version still has LGPL-2, I have updated version 0.5.1 under LGPL-2.1+)
