btw, in any case someone in the future is wondering; the
NetworkManager's hostname settings are stored in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
on these line:
send host-name "HOSTNAME";
supersede host-name "HOSTNAME";
after changing both this and the one in /etc/conf.d/hostname the
computer's hostname is changed for good with none of the side effect.
