Hmmm... but NetworkManager should think in desktop users (ok, somewhat 
power desktop users) that install a new release/distro and a user 
configuration should be completely independent. Or at least give the 
chance to save either systemwide or "userwide". Anyway thanks for your 
answers and ideas, I understand that all of this is somewhat Off-Topic :)

Cheers
