This functionality was just introduced in F17, NetworkManager 0.9.x.
Previously you could only have one client connected to the
NetworkManager daemon at a time.  Now the behavior has changed
to make it work better with fast-user-switching.

This new connection sharing also causes secrets to be handled
differently.  Previously everything was stored in your gnome-keyring,
now by default secrets are stored at the system level.  A client
can register to be a secrets provider however I don't know if this has
been implemented in sugar yet.

I may have more information about this this weekend.  I currently
have an unstable network connection and the NetworkManager
password popups are annoying me.  If I find anything interesting
I will update everyone.
