This behavior is expected until the system settings daemon is suitable
for use, because your network connections are stored in your user
session and are not available to NetworkManager 0.7 until you log in.
That's expected to be fixed quite soon.  It worked in NM 0.6.5 as a hack
but the more flexible architecture of 0.7 makes that specific hack much
more difficult to implement.  Instead it'll be corrected for real.
