I have found that there is a partial migration of settings in gconf
under system/networking, observed using gconf-editor

A new folder "connections" has been created and sequentially numbered
folders below this. Each folder contains partial details for my VPNs

In order for nm-applet to "see" these migrated VPNs, I did the following
from gconf-editor (to be done for each numbered key under
"connections"):

 /system/networking/connections/1/vpn:
  service-type = org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp       # corrected from 
.ppp-starter
 /system/networking/connections/1/ipv4:
  method = auto                                                                 
    # added new string attr

I can now edit the VPNs using nm-applet.

None of the settings from the orginal gconf
/system/networking/vpn_connections/{name}/vpn_data key have been
migrated to the new setup.
