Yes, that's the bug.

Well, if nobody steps up to the plate, they won't get done.  Fedora and
SUSE have been shipping 0.7 for a while and therefore have done the work
required for the plugins.  While the interface is still evolving, I'm
quite happy to fix up other distros plugins when I change the interfaces
in the system settings service, much like kernel developers must fix up
all drivers when they change something, even if they don't have the
hardware.
