For those interested I have submitted my final gui patches to bugzilla. I finished my openvpn patch and then realized that the vpnc dialog was designed the same way as openvpn was. My OCD kicked in and had to create a patch to make the vpnc interface consistent. OpenVPN: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334800 VPNC: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408819 Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
