Another laptop relate problem I have reported before:  Sometimes, I run
my laptop on connected to the net.  GM starts up just fine, but then
pops up a dialogue saying it could not connect to the GK.  Thats fine,
if I have no net how could it!  The problem is, the next time I restart
and I am on the net, GM is now set to 'do not register'.  I don't think
I should have to remember each time I start up 'now, am I registered or
not... click on preferences, ... etc).  I would like a 'always try to
register' option.  Now, an always register option + a timeout would be
even better!

(I used to run gconftool on startup to to always change the setting but
that was a bit of a hack)

The gconftool may help:  If I am not wrong you could run a command in
your hibernate script to unregister + reregister after you hibernate.
Or better: unregister before you hibernate and reregister after.  This
will allow for IP address changes during the hibernation process.
