KDE Network Manager Applet goes weird

After last night's upgrade, the Network Manager applet in the KDE tray now appears as a red X. Clicking on it produces a message that the network manager isn't running, and that I should please start it. In fact networking seems to be running just fine. Has anyone else seen this? System is Fedora-16 running on x86_64 hardware; KDE version 4.8.3. The applet doesn't identify itself; here's the log of the Network Manager upgrade: May 27 23:38:13 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16.x86_64 May 27 23:38:18 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16.x86_64 May 27 23:38:19 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-gtk-0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16.x86_64 May 27 23:38:20 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-gnome-0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16.x86_64 May 27 23:38:21 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-devel-0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16.x86_64 jon
