[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#1020495: Error: unable to load VPN connection editor - on Identity tab at Gnome Network manager VPN

Hi Patrik,

That's because the settings app uses GTK 4, while `nm-connection-editor` 
still uses GTK 3.  In order for the strongSwan plugin to work with GTK 
4, it has to be built with `--with-gkt4`.  That creates an additional 
version of the editor that's linked against GTK 4 (besides the one 
linked against GTK 3).  These are actually two shared libraries that are 
loaded dynamically at runtime by the main editor plugin depending on 
whether it's loaded by a GTK 3 or 4 application.

Regards,
Tobias
