I'm affected by this bug too. It is really annoying and may be a real pain in the ass for the average user. In Europe (especially here in Austria) internet connection with GPRS/UMTS becomes quite ubiquitous. As long as NetworkManager doesn't manage ppp connections reliably it isn't wise to let it control online status of whole system.
I read NetworkManager 0.7 should bring some enhancements in that area. Why is 0.6.x in Hardy? Fedora 9 will ship 0.7?!
For the moment (until NM 0.7) it may be better for applications (Firefox, Pidgin, etc.) to not rely on the dbus online-offline status controlled by NM.
If a developer needs more information I would be happy to provide it.
