[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#784896: network-manager-pptp-gnome: Unable to connect to VPN from GNOME Flashback session

[Michael Hierweck]

Package: network-manager-pptp-gnome
Version: 0.9.10.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

from GNOME Flashback sessions it is not possible to connect to PPTP
VPNs. This might affect other VPN connections, too, but needs to be
confirmed. Both GNOME and GNOME classic are not affected.

The incompatibility was already reported and fixed for Ubuntu:

Thanks in advance

Michael
