nm-applet / vpnc / pptp / openvpn
Hi,

I've succesfullly installed Networkmanager and nm-applet with all the
plugins under Gnome / Kde-4-3 using the instructions can be found at
gentoo-wiki. It is working perfectly for wired and wireless LAN but not for
any VPN (this part of the applet is grey

I was searching the archive and googled this thing but I cannot find a
solution, so I decided to ask you :)

I suppose this is some problem with the dbus registration of the plugins,
but I'm not sure

This is because of dbus' default deny policy. I've opened a bug on this:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294992

That fixes it for me.

Re: nm-applet / vpnc / pptp / openvpn [ In reply to ]
the bug reappeard at me... vpn sections are "grey", can't add new, and when
I select an old one it says I don't have the necessary plugins installed...
bugreport updated but I suppose this is related to "-gnome" global flag, so
I'm trying to recompile with gnome enabled...
