Primarily for my own curiosity and so I can put some details in a bug
report if needed, what would be the proper way to tell NM to go to sleep
and wake up?  Is there a way to broadcast a message over dbus and
anything listening that receives the message goes to sleep or wakes up
as appropriate?  Or would a message need to be sent specifically to NM
for each?
