Thanks for reply, probably I not able to explain good in english, latest
Clem comment here probably can:

https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/pull/7486

In this explain how to reproduce:
https://gist.github.com/clefebvre/411ab17558fc4dc438085ce2b6cc9093

But also description of patch from upstream that fixed it I think
explain good:

> libnma/pygobject: libnma/NMA must use libnm/NM instead of legacy libraries

I personally think that only the fact the libnma binding is broken and
anyone want use it in Stretch can have this issue is sufficient reason
for fix it.
