Public bug reported: In Kubuntu 13.10, using a mobile broadband connection, connected using Network Manager as normal, in the system tray I get a small icon of a mobile phone, as expected. Then after using Network Manager to connect to a VPN using OpenVPN, instead of getting the mobile phone icon with a padlock in the system tray, as in previous versions of Kubuntu, I instead get a mobile phone icon with a "stop" symbol on it (red circle with diagonal line across it).
The icon in use here suggests that there is a problem with the network connection, not that it is working with a VPN.
