Then it is a bug, confirmed in 0.7.1 release 1.fc10

- Change your HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network

- unplug cable, replug cable, restart NM once, twice, do everything at the same time...
    => /etc/hosts never changes, and the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts stays out of date

- run: killall nm-system-settings
    => /etc/hosts is updated instantly

Except nm-system-settings is never supposed to be restarted!

Is it worth filing it despite nm-system-settings bound to disappear?

Cheers,

Marc
