Feature summary

All network errors reported by the network subsystem (NetworkManager) are silent.

This would be solved by throwing a desktop notification reporting any errors, or even connection changes.

Motivation / use case

Feedback on error or change is pretty much basic functionality for a network management user interface. It would probably solve issues #4362 and partially #4051.

Proposed solution

Errors from the subsystem are already logged, but not handled. So what would be needed is an error/event handler for this, at minimum sends a desktop notification with the error message.

Alternatively: a configurable hook (per error class / output message match?) that would/could be used to send a notification or perform another action.
