Title:
  gnome-flashback pptp vpn does not connect

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
