[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#567458: network-manager-gnome: does not save the password for PPTP system connections

[Teodor MICU]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: important

Hi,

The network-manager applet does not save the password for any PPTP connection
that is "Available for all users" (and saved to /etc/N-M/system-connections).

Any attempt of using a PPTP system connection will end up with:
| <WARN>  nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'xxxxxxxx' failed to
|   connect: 'No VPN secrets!'.

The only way a PPTP connection can be used in N-M is to keep it private for each
user account (uncheck "Available for all users").

I've upgraded all network-manager* packages to current version is 'unstable' 07.999
and there is no difference.

Thanks
