Yes, that is an interesting use case. Giovanni I think noted in another mail of yours that empathy looks at network manager status to know if it is connected or not. If I read correctly, network manager is now the central place to managing network connections for the entire desktop. So I reckon that even shell is monitoring the online status somehow.

So there isn't any reason to do so. sri
