core: fix CA cert mishandling after cert file deletion (deb #560067) (rh #546793)
If a connection was created with a CA certificate, but the user later moved or deleted that CA certificate, the applet would simply provide the connection to NetworkManager without any CA certificate. This could cause NM to connect to the original network (or a network spoofing the original network) without verifying the identity of the network as the user expects. In the future we can/should do better here by (1) alerting the user that some connection is now no longer complete by flagging it in the connection editor or notifying the user somehow, and (2) by using a freaking' cert store already (not that Linux has one yet).
