Comment 1 Dan Williams 2011-06-14 20:41:54 UTC

I think the answer here is "don't restart dbus" because we consider dbus a core component of the system, and a lot more than nm-applet can break if you do...  we don't expect things to survive a dbus restart upstream most of the time anyway, though we try to handle it if we can.  I don't think this is critical enough to make a RHEL5 update given that dbus shouldn't be restarted  manually during normal operation.
