You can use updated package by running:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pboldin/nm

It should install version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.4~fixed:

A PPA with a possible fix would be greatly appreciated.

Any update on this ? It's very frustrating to be needed to logout every

of an operating system. Because of simple things like this that don't

I have this same issue on 14.10, it doesn't only impact VPN connections.

Well, I downgraded to 14.04 and the problem has gone away completely for
me.
Nothing I tried with 14.10 worked. It may have worked if I had done a
completely clean install (one where no existing /home partition
existed). As I've mentioned, the problem began after I upgraded from
14.04 to 14.10.
Since my home folder is on another partition, I tried reinstalling 14.10
today over my upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 .
This did NOT fix the problem.
For me, the issue is exclusively with network-manager-vpnc connections.
network-manager-openvpn connections have never exhibited this bug-
behavior
Lonnie, it happened to me when I upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04, so I
would be quite interested to see whether downgrading helps you.
I thought it was something that happened when I went to 14.04, but if
you were ok when you were on 14.04, then maybe it is more to do with a
change that was put into
The only work-around that works for me is logging out and logging back
in. Yet, as others have mentioned, this has to be done every time I boot
my machine.
Since rebooting doesn't work, what does logout accomplish that reboot
doesn't? That's an essential question. Perhaps Pavel has answered this
I would like any of you guys to cooperate with my tightly to find the
root cause for that.

This doesn't fix it for me, none of the workarounds work for me.

So, here is the details I got from investigating this bug.
The error is that during first start `nm-applet` is not registering

I'm attaching a workaround-like bugfix for this bug.
