This config is just plain wrong. The fact that such a workaround fixes
things has nothing to do with the actual problem, so please don't break
your system by applying such suggestions.

In most cases, simply *rebooting* after installing a VPN plugin will fix
this; if not, then you really should add more information as to what
exactly happens *as* the connection is being imported; without even
activating it before adding the info to this bug report. Ideally this
would be done by starting nm-connection-editor from the command-line so
as to get all the messages from .xsession-errors.

Also, all the issues here should be fixed in Oneiric soon (preparing an
upload that includes secrets fixes); there is a slight difference in how
passwords are saved in the keyring which should allow you to choose
whether to save them immediately in the config, get asked every time, or
just "not needed".
