Well the guy at Gnome seems a little hostile to be honest. He said he'd prefer if it was fixed, but I don't see that happening anytime soon as this has been a bug since 2008 and I doubt it will be fixed for Quantal.
If we want it sorted for Quantal, I guess we should just patch it ourselves and remove the checkbox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280571 Title: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked "Connect Automatically" Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager” package in Debian: New Bug description: VPN connections marked "Connect Automatically" are not activated when a wired or wireless network becomes available.
