Hopefully it will work, even if it would require Inception it would be great. ProfileMatic is a nice piece of software, and with this backroung connection feature it would be quite perfect.
Whatever the outcome will be, you have done good job. My donation is on the way.

profilematic doesn't work for me. Don't know why. I only want to use simple profile rules set by TIME to change my ringin profile. But rules don't apply. They apply just one time. Then no more.
I built a test version that had a fix candidate for this problem requiring testing. I haven't received any feedback from the people who reported this problem for this fix.
Since this fix can potentially have some adverse effects, I will not include it unless it fixes the problem. So if you're one of the people affected by this problem and want it to get fixed, please step-up and do some testing and report to me.

Setting the background connection seems work unreliably also if I do it from the settings menu. Sometimes I have to disable and enable the internet connection before background settings actually change. Maybe this could be used to make background settings change as desired. I don't know if this would be a very nice solution, though. However, this seems to happen with the settings menu, so it might be quite hard to find any other way...
BTW, it seems to work just the same way when I change background connection setting in terminal by gconftool-2.

So now with PR1.3 it's unreliable also when changing from Settings, unless Internet Connection is toggled off/on after that? The problem in implementing that to ProfileMatic is that I haven't found a way to switch Internet Connection. Last I looked it couldn't be done through gconf and I haven't found any clear APIs to do it either.

I also tried to search the web for any way to switch Internet Connection on/off, but found none. Some people even say it's impossible.

Nice app!
Some suggestions:
move the whole to settings, it is a daemon and its behaviour should be under "Settings -> Applications" me thinks
add a slider to deactivate all and add a slider to deactivate each
add "if idle in this case for #min do $changes" additionally to cases
copy a case (it is really hard to record cell-towers during meetings and such... like 5 cases for work, each time I add a new one I have to wander around to get the towerinfo)
for testing:
I have cases timed once a week but I do not have the device for a week yet so no idea if it's buggy or not... get in touch with me in #harmattan if you like me testing (N9). I am a usability tester if that is not a problem. As I said I am new to harmattan but I will have a look for dbus msgs for several things (did some of the reverse-engineering for n900 location dbus calls), I might run into useful msgs...

Deactivate rules one-by-one will be in 1.7.0, it is implemented already. But no slider for similar reasoning as above, it will be accessible with long press on rule (and in the rule's menu).

Thanks for the feedback!

I've uploaded ProfileMatic 1.7.0 to Nokia Store. Should be downloadable in about week.
Changelog:
* NFC condition
* Network connection type condition
* Charging condition
* Rules can be deactivated one by one using long press on the rule
* Rule's actions can be manually executed using long press on the rule
* Added splash screen on launch
* UI improvement: Rule editing shows only conditions/actions set. New rule editing shows only Time condition and Profile action at first
* UI improvement: Rule editing has context menu to clear condition/action
* Fix: flight mode setting code moved to separate binary to keep aegis credentials
* Custom action sets environment so that virtual keyboard works if QML application launched
* Idle condition not activated while speaking on phone
* Mobile network mode change delayed until no call/data usage
* On shutdown tries to "restore previous" actions and activates default rule.
This version is participating in the Summer '12 coding competition in the update category. I worked hard to make this the best update so far, please vote if you like it.
