[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

[Alonso Andres]

Is the solution described in comment #143 and comment #147 really the
correct one?

In short, that means dbus always stops on the event deconfiguring-
networking, which is emitted when "/etc/init.d/networking stop" is
called.

In other words, whenever "/etc/init.d/networking stop" is called, dbus gets killed.
That has a nasty effect: when dbus stops, gnome-settings-daemon crashes and that means the desktop theme is lost.

Please see bug #868095 [1] and my comment #3 on that bug.

VMware Tools does this all the time (calling networking stop) when
suspending the machine. That means you are guaranteed to get a horrible
looking (and not completely functional) desktop whenever you resume your
VMware session.

That also happens if I simply restart the networking service:
    /etc/init.d/networking stop
    /etc/init.d/networking start

    (Of course, because this chain reaction that leads to gnome-
settings-daemon death starts on "networking stop")

In conclusion, this seems to be a serious issue. I wonder if that is
happening with more people besides myself and the other fella on bug
#868095.
