Thanks for that. Actually it didn't have exactly what I was looking for,
but it got me looking in the right place- here:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/NetworkManager#Gnome_Specifics

 didn't actually narrow it down, but I have 2 copies of dhclient.conf in
either etc, or etc/dhcp. And send-hostname has to use quotes " ".
Stupidly, dhclient-xxx.conf does bugger all. Which is what confused the
issue- reading the actually scripting makes you think they might
actually do something.
