It seems this is caused by the Debian 11-user-connections.patch patch in
network-manager-applet. Still investigating...

Bug description:
I believe recent changes have broken network-manager-openvpn feature
that allows you to "Import saved VPN connection".
I've tested this feature with bundles that I've definitely imported
successfully in the past.
Now, not only does it not import, but it gives absolutely no feedback
at all; the window just disappears as though I didn't just ask it to
import a VPN.conf file. The folder (I'm importing the .conf file from)
includes all the necessary supporting files. I'm very sure this is not
a user error on my part. I've done this several times in the past and
I'm certain that the files (that are currently being ignored without
dialog feedback) are exactly the same as they were when I was able to
import successfully a few weeks ago.
I've tested this on multiple machines that have Ubuntu 14.04 installed
and fully updated.
And, even if the files were indeed corrupted (which I'm certain they
are not), the fact that the UI just disappears, instead of showing an
error, is a bug within itself.
Also, I'd like to point out, that I was able to set up this VPN bundle
manually. The point of this bug is to report that the ability to
import via .conf files (so that you don't have to set things manually)
has recently became nonfunctional.
