Bug#820205: gnome-flashback: NetworkManager fails to auth password with gnome-flashback

[Chris Burrooughs]

Package: gnome-flashback
Version: 3.10.0-3
Severity: important

When attempting to connect to a (vpnc) VPN using gnome flashback on
jessie the following error occurs in the daemon log:

Apr  2 16:21:09 yt530 NetworkManager[2000]: <error> [1459628469.628285] [vpn-manager/nm-vpn-connection.c:1778] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request.

And no connection is established. With a classic session, the same VPN
connection works without any known trouble.  I believe this report is
substantially similar to:
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1440009
 * https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784896

The debian bug suggested that the proper course of action was to open
a bug against gnome-fashback instead of network-manager-pptp-gnome.
