NetworkManager cleartext config files vs home folder encryption

Hello,
I recently stumbled over the fact, that NetworkManager by default stores
Wifi profiles *including clear text passwords* under
`/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/`.
I think that is not what one expects when he/she turns on home folder
encryption and should because of that be corrected somehow.[1]
All the best,
Per Guth
[1]: I fixed it for me (a single user system) by moving the config files
into my home folder as documented here:
