F12 Alpha without updates, fresh install: None of NM's buttons work for me.
Tried "Edit" and "Delete". Tried with eth1 (LAN) and eth0. Then gave up.

Meanwhile, I've disabled NM and set up networking with system-config-network
instead. Updated to Rawhide, but that broke GNOME login. gconf-sanity-check-
something exits with error code and drops me back to GDM.
