Hopefully in the FC7 timeframe DavidZ's system bus activation patch will
be merged to dbus, and a release including it will be in FC7, and then
the root cause of this problem will vanish :)

But thanks for figuring this out and for the fix.  NM should be more
resilient to dhcdbd not being around too.  For the record, this dhcdbd
problem also exposed a bug in the DBus service activation code that
caused a segfault in the core dbus daemon, which was patched last week.
