I'm trying to make sense of this.
My /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf reads:
-----------------------------------------------------
[main]
plugins=ifcfg-rh
-----------------------------------------------------
I've changed the second line to "plugins=keyfile"
though I have no idea what that means.

Now I've run
-----------------------------------------------------
[tim@mary NetworkManager]$ killall -TERM nm-system-settings
nm-system-settings(2124): Operation not permitted
nm-system-settings: no process killed
[tim@mary NetworkManager]$ sudo killall -TERM nm-system-settings
-----------------------------------------------------

Finally, I have right-clicked on the NM icon in my panel,
and clicked on Edit Connections, then on the Wireless tag,
next on Auto-dd which seems to be my current connection,
and finally on Edit.
There is no "System connection" box.
There is only a box "Connect automatically" which is ticked.

It seems I have misunderstood the instructions.
What is the "connection editor" if not the above?
And how do I "create my connection"?

Just write some documentation, PLEASE.
