Some minor changes need to be made, and the maintainer has agreed to make
them.

I think the network connections tool is flaky and far from usable, and I
don't think we want that support problem. But if we left the network one out
for now, leaving a boot manager, a runlevel editor, time settings, and a
user manager, I'd like to see this go in. At the least, it's really silly
that we don't have some way to set the system clock in GNOME.

One thought:
The backends are written in perl. Does this add any new or difficult
dependency to GNOME?
