Is there any particular reason why netcfg maps 127.0.0.1 to the
hostname in /etc/hosts? I.e.:

127.0.0.1       myhost  localhost

This makes reverse lookups quite confusing, as you expect 127.0.0.1 to
be mapped to localhost, not to the hostname. I know that GNOME and
possibly other programs need to be able to resolve the hostname, but
isn't it better to define it as an alias in that case:

127.0.0.1       localhost       myhost
