Trying to connect via VPN (pptp) fails:

Mar 31 12:25:39 mbr NetworkManager[1002]: <info> Starting VPN service 'pptp'...

Mar 31 12:25:39 mbr NetworkManager[1002]: <info> VPN service 'pptp' appeared; activating connections

Mar 31 12:25:43 mbr NetworkManager[1002]: <info> VPN service 'pptp' disappeared


Workaround (as previously suggested):

remove ~/.gconf/apps/nm-applet/%gconf.xml
logout / login
connection works

...
until the next reboot
