Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn
When I try to import a VPN connection from an openvpn file that works on
the commandline, the definitions load just fine, but I can not save it
unless I enter the password for the key. Quite ridiculus, why should I
need to save the password?
If I manually enter a VPN definition I can save the configuration
without entering the password but trying to start it I get an error
message about not being able to get the credentials (I would have
expected a password prompt).
In syslog I find:

This all used to work fine before. That behaviour started to show up in
Ubuntu 64bit 10.10 with XFCE and is still present in Xubuntu 11.4
(32bit).
