xchat-gnome should poke network manager

It would be sweet if xchat-gnome poked network manager via dbus for network status and cleanly disconnected/reconnected when my ethernet/wireless did the same. For reference, I think this: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/epiphany-extensions/extensions/net-monitor/ is the code that does the same for epiphany.
Added the "Network Monitor" plugin to SVN. It's probably buggy and maybe a little leaky if your network connection is being really flaky, but it works quite well for my basic tests (starting and stopping eth0 inside a breezy VM). Give it a try and let me know :)
