No, I'm positive that the right solution is for gnome-power-manager to
expose an interface on the session bus that NetworkManager's nm-applet
can register with and shutdown accordingly. Back in April I wrote about
it here

 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/utopia-list/2005-April/msg00002.html

and I think these thoughts still apply. Do you agree? 

What you are proposing seems not as optimal and will probably just delay
the right solution. That's just what I'm thinking - I could be wrong :-)
