[Bug 475814] Re: vpnc will only connect successfully on first try per session

@Matt / @Per

I'm assuming I can answer this as well.  The IP address doesn't change,
and I don't think this is the problem, there are several AP's available
at my locations, hereby AP1 and AP2:

[Scenario 1]
Connect to AP1  (192.168.1.105)
Connect VPN (success)
Disconnect VPN
Connect VPN (fails)
   sudo killall NetworkManager  -- nm auto-restarts
Connects to AP1 (192.168.1.105)
Connect VPN (success)

[Scenario 2]
Connect to AP1  (192.168.1.105)
Connect VPN (success)
Disconnect VPN
Disconnect Wifi
Connect to AP2  (141.213.114.155)
Connect VPN (fails)
   sudo killall NetworkManager  -- nm auto-restarts
Connects to AP2 (141.213.114.155)
Connect VPN (success)


I have played with pretty much every mix of AP1 and AP2 I can think of, as well as mixing in suspend/resume cycles; the answer is fairly simple.  Once NM has connected the VPN once, it will not connect successfully again under any set of circumstances until NM has been restarted.

I will also note that my VPN passwords are saved in the keyring, looking
at the credentials via NM editor or seahorse shows that they are present
/ accurate for both successful and unsuccessful attempts.
