Comment(by pedric):
The 5th version that I uploaded adresses a number of issues I was having
with detecting if a reconnect was really needed. It now always reconnects
if the number of active devices changes. I decided to remove the code that
attempted to minimize the number of unnecessary reconnects, mainly because
of the fact that information about default connections for DNS and routes
provided by libnm_glib have been unreliable, and also because I found
Pidgin to stall not only if one of multiple devices is disconnected, but
sometimes also if a device is connected. This 5th version basically
provides the functionality as if the user was using an earlier version of
NetworkManager.
