Yeah, the network-manager-openvpn plugin package also ships a "gui-plugin" for nm-vpn-properties. Our plans are, to either split up the Gnome specific parts into a separate package (like network-manger-openvpn-gnome, although that means we will win the prize for the longest package name ever ;-) ) or simply exclude the Gnome dependencies from network-manager-openvpn by passing -X to dh_shlibdeps. The rationale is, that someone using nm-applet already has the necessary Gnome dependencies installed. The only downside of the latter approach is, that in case of a library transition, the gui part of the network-manager-openvpn might break and it remains unnoticed (by the package management system).
