	Well, just one: "Information Sources" allows to change backends 
priorities and Solid's Networkmagement system has three backends now: NM-0.7, 
NM-0.9 and Wicd. Users will not be able to change between them, although very 
few people uses Solid's Wicd backend.

	Besides if the NM-0.7 backend has higher priority than the NM-0.9's when 
someone try to run Plasma NM (nm09 branch) it may crash Plasma NM since both 
NM backends are not binary compatible. Changing the backend NM-0.9 priority to 
be higher than NM-0.7's solves this problem. By default NM-0.9 has higher 
priority, so this is not a big issue now.
