Description of problem:
Profiles fail miserably on my machine.  I had them working quite nicely on
redhat 8.0, but now that I am using 9, they complain that they can't find
devices after I switch profiles. 

My setup is basically an ethernet card that has office, dhcp and home settings
(eth0, eth0:1, eth0:2) that are each in separate profiles of the same name. 
Every time I switch profiles and try to start a device, it says to me that it
can't find device eth0:1.  In order to get it working, I have to edit the
device, save all and then start the device.  Once this is done, switching back
to the old profile results in a similar failure.

I also tried to switch profiles from redhat-control-network as a normal user and
got the following error dump:

By the way, is there any prospect of having a cancel option added to the window
that appears when one tries to start a device, particularly ppp devices?
