After some trial and error I have found that 3.14.0-3ubuntu8 and
subsequent versions of gnome-flashback has introduced an error where
connections to a PPTP vpn fail with the following error:

NetworkManager[5971]: <error> [1428023479.735160] [vpn-manager/nm-vpn-
connection.c:1778] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2:
(6) No agents were available for this request.

Downgrading to 3.14.0-3ubuntu7 resolves the issue.

I have reproduced this error by installing vivid into a virtualbox VM,
and configuring a pptp vpn connection.  It works if you use the default
unity session, or the gnome one.  Downgrading to gnome-flashback
3.14.0-3ubuntu7 resolves the issue.

I'm not going to bother attaching any further information unless asked,
as I have narrowed it down to the specific update which has caused the
regression and reproduced it on a fresh install.
