After last night's upgrade, the Network Manager applet in the KDE

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:

There appear to be problems with the Network Manager itself. I don't
know much about it, since networking on my system has always "just
worked" (tm); but here's a log of a little console activity:
