Admittedly, libnm_glib is pretty bad, but was developed as a hack for eg
firefox to not have to hook up to DBus directly.  In any case, the only
g_usleep() in libnm_glib is waiting for dbus handler thread to start.
Instead of doing a 'bt', can you do a 't a a bt' (thread apply all
backtrace) to get a backtrace that includes _all_ threads?

Thanks!
