I have created a patch for this, which is attached to launchpad where this 
problem has been filed for months: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/64173

The patch allows setting the timeout at runtime via nm-tool. Unfortunately 
it seems to have gone totally unnoticed by now, despite the fact that the 
bug appears to be linked to upstream (bugzilla.gnome.org).

There are also a couple of other stupid hard coded values in NM that 
should be configurable IMHO but I didn't have time to tackle them yet.

kind regards,
