I am not one for patching.  I will take this to the Fedora test list and 
see if I can get this into updates for F16 and F17.

But for what it is worth, I have had this problem for quite some time; 
at least the past 6 mo of conferences (I am active in IETF and IEEE 802, 
so have at least 9 week long meetings every year).  This is not 
something recently introduced into NM.  I finally decided to ask about it.
