I have the same problem.
nm-applet 0.6.6 after I fill all the fields in the openvpn wizard, the forward button is still not enabled.

I have found the problem. The ca, cert and key files were only readable by root. As soon as I've changed the permissions on these files, the "forward" button was enabled.

A warning message or something would be very helpful.

Are you sure this is a bug and not a feature? ;)
You have to give all the necessary information (certificates etc.) to make the forward button clickable. So in the screenshot above, it is normal that the button is unclickable, as there is no information given.
