Bug description:
  Intrepid,
  network-manager: 0.7~~svn20080818t061112+eni0-0ubuntu1

  Subject says it. To reproduce:
  1. Configure VPN connection
  2. Try to Export it to a file

  As a result I got cryptic error message dialog:
  ===
  Cannot export VPN connection

  The VPN connection 'vpn_test' could not be exported to vpn_test
  (pptp).conf.

  Error: unknown error.
  ===

  Expected behavior:
  Configuration saved to a file.

  =============
  WORKAROUND
  The configuration is saved in a file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
  that has the same name as the connection.
  This file can be examined with a text editor and/or copied around to other machines.
