** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  The new Network manager has some extra options and this breaks the usage of (probably) any type of VPN. No new connection can be created or existing ones edited.
  
  It fails with the message: «connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set
  property: value "18454592" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range
  for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint'»
  
  [Testcase]
+ Before patch:
+   * Install Kubuntu 16.04
+   * Connect to a network (connection being done automatically)
+   * Create a new VPN connection
+     * For example PPTP
+     * Type in gateway any string longer than one character
+     * Click ok
+     * Receive notification error «connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value "18454592" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint'»
+     * notice connection is not created
+   * Create a new connection (wireless or wired)
+     * Change the IP to manual
+     * Save
+     * Receive noification error «same as above»
+     * Notice connection is not created
+   * Import a VPN connection
+     * Save
+     * Receive notification error «same as above»
+     * Notice connection is not created
+ 
+ After the patch:
+     Do all of the above, and the connection gets created every time. Test each connection and they work.
