Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-04-08 16:29:57 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
- create one VPN network in the connection manager
- open the gnome shell network menu
- click the "ON" switch for "VPN connections"

Actual result: nothing happens. The user is expected to click on the VPN name.

Expected result:
- if there is only one VPN configured, connect it.
- if there are multiple VPNs or something can't logically work, don't allow the switch to be turned on

Not sure this is a duplicate - the bug this was marked as a duplicate of was fixed prior to 3.0.0. Jean-François - what are you testing with?
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-04-08 17:49:21 UTC 
I'm testing with 3.0.0 (Fedora 15, up to date as of today)
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2011-04-08 17:56:33 UTC 
OK, this is not a duplicate then. What network manager packages? And have you restarted network manager and nm-applet or easier, rebooted, since you upgraded to them? There were issues with VPN prompting for passwords until NetworkManager-0.8.9/NetworkManager-openvpn 0.8.998
Comment 5 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-04-08 18:21:08 UTC 
Yep, I restarted the computer. 

networkmanager 0.8.998-2.git20110406-fc15
networkmanager-pptp 0.8.998-1.fc15

This works fine here, with 3.4 and 3.5
