[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#755306: [network-manager-gnome] Can't disconnect VPN from nm-applet

[Carlos Ramos]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.10.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Currently there is no way to disconnect from a VPN with nm-applet. A
connection can be initiated using the applet but once connected the
applet still shows the VPN as OFF and if you click on it, a new
connection is initiated.

A workaround is to open the network settings and here the VPN does show
as ON and here you can turn it OFF.

This happens at least with OpenVPN, PPTP and VPNC. With OpenVPN the
applet icon changes to a lock indicating that a VPN is active, with PPTP
and VPNC this is not the case and you have to resort to other means
(e.g. the ip command) to find out if you are connected to a VPN or not.
