Bill,

Thanks for tracking that one down, I'll fix it ASAP.  It seems that you can't 
ever remove a GSource from a non-main context and _reuse_ it.  Blatant API 
oversight :)  The fix is to use g_source_destroy() like they say in the email, 
but then of course you cannot reuse the GSource.  We actually don't want to 
reuse it in NetworkManager, but the facility to reuse a non-default-context 
GSource simply isn't there.
