My testing method:
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS fully updated with apt-get
- enabled 'trusty proposed' repo in synaptic
- from synaptic installed (updated) network-manager-gnome + whatever
dependencies it decided to choose for itself
- reboot (just because)
Results:
- first attempt to import my config.ovpn file succeeded, but
- it didn't save my password on first try
- the connection name didn't show up in nm-applet
- second try it saved my password;
- then the connection name did show up in nm-applet
- selecting the VPN connection name from the VPN menu in nm-applet
results in nothing happening. No connection is actually made. The
"flashy connecting" icon doesn't appear where the nm-applet icon lives
in the panel.
So basically, I can import a VPN connection, and I can't use it.

My experience was mixed:
My testing method: manager- gnome + whatever
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS fully updated with apt-get
- enabled 'trusty proposed' repo in synaptic
- from synaptic installed (updated) network-
dependencies it decided to choose for itself
- reboot (just because)
Results:
- first attempt to import my config.ovpn file succeeded, but
- it didn't save my password on first try
- the connection name didn't show up in nm-applet
- second try it saved my password;
- then the connection name did show up in nm-applet
- selecting the VPN connection name from the VPN menu in nm-applet
results in nothing happening. No connection is actually made. The
"flashy connecting" icon doesn't appear where the nm-applet icon lives
