Second cut of this patch. Issues resolved:

- Removed the check box, unconditionally poll for
  connections if the user selects a remote conn
  option.

- Only use advertised 'name' as the list entry.

- Don't add duplicate list entries.

- If creating the initial avahi dbus interface
  fails, just disable all polling, and never
  activate the connection list.

- Sort list entries alphabetically by default,
  and add ability to sort ascend/descend

Thanks,
Cole
