Sorry Jeff.  I tried to make a little joke here.  On re-reading it
didn't come out very funny.

I regularly back up my /etc; however, I appreciate the advice of
restoring a whole branch or tree rather than just the file when it comes
to networks.

I have also moved the /etc/dhcp6c.conf.  It shouldn't make a difference;
I don't receive any IPv6 traffic that I have noticed.

Checked out ~/.gconfd/saved_state and found: ADD 1308623008 "def"
"/system/networking/connections".  I am presuming that means
gconf-editor should have an entry
referencing /system/networking/connections.  It doesn't.
