What is the difference between gprs_home_rx_bytes vs gprs_rx_bytes?  I
thought they were for data transferred on the home network and when
roaming, respectively, however, the gconf values don't match what I
find in Settings -> Phone:

  Nokia-N900-42-11:~# gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/network_type | grep bytes
    gprs_home_tx_bytes = 4034987
    gprs_rx_bytes = 709842177
    gprs_home_rx_bytes = 31515124
    gprs_tx_bytes = 62829876

My "Home network data counter" matches:

  Sent: 4.03 MB
  Receiverd: 31.5 MB

However, my "Roaming network data counter" doesn't:

  Sent: 0 B
  Received 0 B

Are gprs_home_{rx,tx}_bytes since the last reset and
gprs_{rx,tx}_bytes since forever?

Thanks,

Neal
