Hi there,

Attached patch work-arounds the problem with OpenVPN.

Looking at the source, I'm puzzled, cos' line 1000 of Karmic Koalas nm-
openvpn-service.c does validations of set #1 of parameters, whereas line
1004 does validation of set #2. The problem is that these sets are
divergent, so either one doesnt provide any "secret parameters" (hence
the "No VPN secrets!" error), or receives an error that such parameter
is invalid.

I dont know if my reasoning is correct, I dont know why it worked
intermittently - I just wanted my OpenVPN back :-) Please forward my
remarks upstream if you find this helpful.

Pawel
