[Bug 1752741] [NEW] Changing "Show and configure virtual connections" requires a restart of plasmashell

[Brandon Bell]

Public bug reported:

The "Show and configure virtual connections" option of plasma-nm's
Network Settings does not take effect for the plasmoid until after a
restart of plasmashell.

The ability to up/down and configure "virtual" connections like Bridge,
VLAN, etc. via GUI was removed in a previous release of KDE but will be
re-added in Bionic (18.04) via plasma-nm>=4:5.11.5-0ubuntu1 via the
"Show and configure virtual connections" checkbox in the Network
Settings of the plasmoid.

While that checkbox has the immediate effect of appearing in any newly
spawned Connections dialog, it requires a restart of plasmashell (or
logout/login or reboot) before the plasmoid itself will see the effect.
I contend that it should immediately change the type of connections
shown in the plasmoid and not require a restart.
