Public bug reported: This may be specific to the KDE network manager. When I click on the VPN that I've configured in network-manager, usually nothing happens (except for the first time, when it requests access to KDE wallet). This was working in gnome's network-manager 2 weeks ago.
In syslog, I get output like this: May 21 07:06:48 fridge NetworkManager[1141]: <info> Policy set 'Wired connection 1' (eth0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS.
