With that change in the pptp plugin i'm not able to use either the vpn tunnel 
at my workingplace, neither the Internet Connection my University provides via 
WLAN. So the plugin became useless for me since using gutsy. I think that is a 
major backdraw for the usabilty of my system.
I know many other bigger organizations like other German Universities which 
provide Internet Access via a PPTP Tunnel and all these Organizations have not 
configured their Routing to use the tunnel-endpoint as gateway. It is also no 
easy task to convince the staff of the University to change their configuration 
since everything works well with MS clients which are used by the vast majority 
of users.
Please consider that pptp is somekind of a MS invention and mostly offered to 
bring in an easy way of authorization of access and some little easy usable 
encryption, thats a totally different goal to that of the cisco, etc. offerings 
using ipsec.

I think it would be a really wise idea to revert this behaviour. May
it's a better idea to ask upstream to make this configurable and include
it then as an recommended option once this becomes implemented.
