I also think it's KDE3 bug. Well, automounting works, but when I try to unmount the drive in 
media:/ I get error claiming that I have no permissions to do so.

I also use nm-applet. The problem is that when I ran it under KDE3 it seemed crippled, as it was 
unable to record new connections (both user and system wide connections) and send any commands to 
NetworkManager. Coping configuration files from old installation to appropriate dir in /etc made 
these conectios available, but still this was not what I expected :/ Anyway, if nm-applet works 
in TDE and allows to add and control connections without any problem then I'm happy.

Promise? If so, then I can wait, though I was desperate to get my system up and running till the 
end of week. I am still considering Debian, though I'm a bit reluctant to go with Squeeze since 
it will soon become oldstable.

Oh believe me, you will hear me complaining.... :)

BTW. What are these problems in LTS 12.04 that you mentioned Tim? I have some friends using this 
Ubuntu and i didn't hear any complaints from them.
