bear in mind ssh has the same policy about ignoring "insecure" files. A suggestion is to put the keys in separate files.

The connection only comes up after login, not before as I would expect. In my latest test with jaunty, I've created my system profile by: right click nm-applet -> Edit Connections -> Wireless -> Auto home- net -> Edit -> Available to all users -> Apply This immediately causes the connection to disappear from the list of known Wireless profiles and causes /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/Auto home-net to be created. The connection stays active, until I kill nm-applet. After that, the connection won't come up again until nm-applet is started, even if I cycle NetworkManager and nm-system-settings both.
