What behavior are you trying to get here with the priorities?  NM
doesn't use priorities for a specific reason, usually because they're a
pretty bad way to interact with users.  It's not often that you have
more than one visible wifi network in the same area that you switch
between frequently; that would usually indicate bad network planning :)
There may be other ways we can adjust the behavior.

But I don't think your patch is the right way to do this.  You don't
really want to be modifying nm-connection.c or really libnm-util at all,
and you don't need to.

Just abuse the 'timestamp' option to be your priority, which NM will
already use to sort the connections.  Disable the code in nm-applet that
updates the timestamp periodically, and then add some bits in
nm-connection-editor that change the timestamp based on what the user
wants the priority to be.
