Bug#822429: plasma-nm: Upstream Bug 362141: Connection editor fails with "connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value"

[J Mo <jmomo@jmomo.net>]

Package: plasma-nm
Version: 4:5.4.3-1
Severity: normal

Already fixed upstream, this bug is a huge pain. It prevents most configuration changes. Even non-configuration changes like changing one letter of the name of a connection/entry.

The user's ~/.xsession.errors log will have something like this:

 New Notification:  "Failed to update connection WHATEVER" "connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value \"31456224\" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint'" -1 & Part of: 0
