Bug#950872: gnome-control-center: Cannot add new VPN connection without admin rights

[Rike-Benjamin Schuppner]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.30.3-2~deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

in Debian 9, it used to be possible to create new VPN connections as a non-
admin by importing from file or setting up the data in the GUI (gateway, type,
certificates) and then unticking ‘Make available to other users’ before
pressing ‘Add’.
This tick box is not available anymore on Debian 10, which not only means that
admin rights are required to create a new VPN connection, it also means that
the VPN will be available to everyone else automatically, which is not the best
situation for a shared computer.

Note that the tick box is still available for existing VPNs, on the ‘Details’
tab (this tab is completely missing when creating a new VPN).

I’d also be happy if anyone knew a workaround that made all new VPN connections
per default per-user only; then I could live without this tick box.
