... so Dan says he would like to rather log that you have a config file
created by hand and need to adjust the permissions. would that resolve
your usability issue?
Dan agrees with you that the current behaviour is wrong, but thinks that
users manually creating config files can be expected to read logs ...
and using NM applet will not create files with wrong permissions.
some log snippets:
22:22 < dcbw> if we dont' log errors reading connections (which I dont' think
we do) then of course we should fix that so users have a clue
22:23 < dcbw> basically, just because the file is already on the system doesn't
mean NM should just accept it and allow it to continue being on the
system in an insecure manner
22:24 < dcbw> and if NM rejects it, then the user who added the keyfile now
knows that it's insecure immediately

NM ignores "system"-level connections if files are world-readable
