That patch can't break locking for NM. As Sebastien mentioned earlier, the
changes can only ever have effect when you compile against the new glib. We
need to debug this more on network-manager's side before starting to blame
glib.

I've made some debs[0] which should fix the dbus errors we're seeing in the NM
logs. Which may or may not fix this issue, but it definately fixes some memory
corruption. (I couldn't test this because i don't have machines with kill
switches though...)

So please everyone who can reproduce it, try these debs.. And if it still fails
send in new NM logs :)
