It's an example of yet another case where network manager is only suitable for some users. On the other side of the coin - in some cases you'll need name resolution working, through a DNS server not hosts file, before you even start X or a window manager. If you have bookmarks or desktop links to NFS served directories Gnome will take forever to start up if it cannot access them, if it even will start up. Sure, it has its uses. But I'd rate it as a poor default configuration. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
