@Timo

As previously mentioned, I'd like to get this change out as a hot-fix,
and then do proper evaluation of the new connectivity API based plugin
with the goal to land it as part of OTA9.

@Lorn

I'll take a look at that the line you mentioned, however we need to draw
the line at some point and re-focus on the replacement plugin as
mentioned above.

Bug description:
  Krillin, rc-proposed, r83

  
  DESCRIPTION:
  I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor

  Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor:
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/

  I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals
  and acts accordingly.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE: 
  1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available
  2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor"
  3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output
