Hello Nicolas and thanks for doing this! I've tested the patches on top of the NetworkManager-openvpn RPM in Fedora 19. They work just fine for me when testing towards the corporate VPN server at work, the addresses and routes pushed by the server gets installed and IPv6 traffic is successfully routed through the tunnel. Good job! I really hope these patches end up being merged, as it has been a pain in the arse to always find ways to force applications to use IPv4 when I'm working remotely (which is necessary because getaddrinfo() defaults to the use of IPv6, which goes outside of the VPN and therefore making my traffic come from an unprivileged source network on the internet). I noticed that the default route also gets redirected to the tunnel device even though the server does not push this route. So internet connectivity is broken unless I explicitly enable the "use this connection for resources on its network" setting. However I believe this bug occurs with IPv4 as well, so I don't think it is something wrong with your patches per se in this regard.
