I can confirm this as an existing problem. In my case, I used DNS Suffixes 
because of special circumtances. When I use Gnome-Network, it updates the 
/etc/resolv.conf file. Now, in my case I use DHCP and the DNS Suffixes. So, 
when Gnome-Network reconnects, it updates /etc/resolv.conf automatically, 
making my DNS Suffixes disappear. The problem lies in the fact, that 
Gnome-Network works together with dhcp3, where the configuration is stored in 
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.
So the main problem is, that if I want to make the Gnome-Network remember my 
DNS Suffix settings, I have to manually update /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, and 
add the following : "prepend domain-name "something.com hu.something.com 
blog.something.com "; (the space is at the end neccessary, otherwise the DHCP 
client will give the current DNS Suffix extracted from the DHCP server wrong)
The solution would be, that gnome-network would update /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf 
in case of DHCP, and not resolv.conf. This way changes can be stored for a 
longer period, and would not go lost after each reconnection.
