Kubuntu network-manager: useless warning about versions

The network manager applet "warns" that network manager must be >=0.8.9997 and that it found 0.9.0. I.e. the requirement is satisfied, but it looks at first glance to be an error. Screenshot attached.

This is kubuntu-oneiric-dvd-amd64 from 2011-09-01
