Okay, so...why isn't this a priority bugfix? I love gnome, don't get me wrong, but when I can't even autoconnect to my VPN like I did countless times in the past few years running Ubuntu on Unity without compromising the security of my system something is wrong. There needs to be an option - and a working one at that - for auto-connecting to a VPN through the Gnome NetworkManager GUI. The KDE folks fixed this ages ago with KWallet, I suspect this involves the Gnome-Keyring. This is a *very* annoying problem. Should I report the bug on the Gnome bugtracker? So frustrating when this is an extremely common problem with nobody actually looking into *why* it's happening or how to fix it. I'm afraid this one is beyond me.
