A functional oversight, not horribly hard to fix I think.  Essentially,
when a connection "fails" (ie isn't manually disconnected by a user) the
connection gets added to a blacklist, and isn't removed from that
blacklist until it's successfully activated again.  Blacklisted
connections are eligible for 'autoconnect'.  Thus even if it's
autoconnect and it fails, it won't get reconnected.  I think what needs
to happen here is to only blacklist the connection if it's manually
disconnected via DeactivateConnection, or if it fails and is not
'autoconnect'.
