Looks good, thanks.  Small typo in description: NamesListThis should be
NamesLikeThis.  A slightly more in-depth problem description would be
something like:

When dbus-glib creates the D-Bus error name it uses the GLib enum
nickname converted to StudlyCaps if not already in that form.
Previously NM manually specified the enum nickname and thus dbus-glib
simply used the NM-provided value as the D-Bus error name.  But when
auto-generating the error enums, the default nickname format used by
glib-mkenums is "error-nick-name" which is converted by dbus-glib to
StudlyCaps.  However, due to backwards compatibility, dbus-glib does not
upper-case the first character, and thus got NM's D-Bus error names
wrong.  So NM must still manually specify the GLib enum nicknames to
ensure we don't break the D-Bus API.
