It indeed runs in your session as nm-applet (which also provides the
icon in the notification area) - the thinking is simply to enhance
nm-applet such that on startup it does 

 gpm_session_interface.Register (about_to_suspend_handler);

with

 void about_to_suspend_handler (...)
 {
     nm_system_interface.shutdown(); // this blocks until NM has
                                     // shutdown all networking - it
                                     // might take several seconds..

     // Now well g-p-m that it's OK to suspend
     gpm_session_interface.okToSuspend();
 }

or something. Don't you think this is much cleaner?
