[Bug 453807] Re: nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'xyz' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'.

This bug is most definitely <b>not</b> a duplicate of <a href="
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360818">Bug #360818</a>!

That bug deals with dbus rejecting permission to send a message to the
user at the console.

This bug deals with a separate issue: dbus allows sending the message
but, <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-
openvpn/+bug/453807/comments/31">as falstaff noted</a> the program later
attempts to read the "Secret Property", and it gets inconsistent
results: the call to nm_setting_vpn_get_secret (s_vpn,
NM_OPENVPN_KEY_NOSECRET) sometimes returns the string "true", sometimes
NULL. The connection works when it returns "true", and fails when it
returns NULL, resulting in intermittent failure to connect. Most of the
time, the connection fails, but every few times it does work.

Please, remove the "duplicate" link in this bug, it is incorrect.
