I'm running SUSE 10 and notice that netapplet will be deprecated in

There are somethings ToDo relating to the fact that PPTP is dependent
upon pppd. Comments and patches welcome.
The need to edit the secrets file is one thing, but requiring the user

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the response. I do want it to just work. But minor edits
then just works seems to be better than doesn't work; if only a step
in the right direction.
This means for me that I can now run NM in one important location
(office) and gives me more motivation to get it

Yeah, this does rather suck. But if pptp just calls pppd and doesn't
allow specification of stuff like a script file to run after everything

That discusses the two issues mentioned already. And a third, more

The NMIP4Config structure doesn't have an entry for PtP addresses.

Hi,
The applet is a notification area applet, which means it should work
just as well in the KDE notification area as in the GNOME one. You'll
need to drag along gnome-keyring and gconf though, since nobody's
written a KDE-specific nm applet quite yet. If anyone did, I'd be happy
to add it

I launced nm-applet once in a terminal and that caused the applet gui
to appear in the system tray. I then logged out of KDE and logged
back in and nm-applet appeared again in my system tray. So I
believe it was stored as a part of my KDE session. Further

Robert Dan,
I got a very useful response from James Cameron (the PPTP maintainer).
It looks like my correct course of action is to build a pppd plugin,
which apparently
are very version dependent, but I'm sure the packaging for a particular
distro will be able to get around that. It seems a
