Description Bastien Nocera 2013-02-15 16:04:41 UTC 
gnome-shell-3.7.5-2.fc19.x86_64

Once connected, the OpenVPN VPN gets selected by _syncActiveConnections() as the _mainConnection when my Wi-Fi connection should be.

On this line:
this._mainConnection = activating || default_ip4 || default_ip6 || this._activeConnections[0] || null;
every item in null except:
this._activeConnections[0]
which is the VPN connection.

default_ip4 is unset, for some reason.
