Comment 21 for bug 364101

I would like to propose the following patch to handle the options in the configuration file (just tested it right now, and it does the job)

[vpn]
<...>
ping=10
ping-restart=60

As one can see, the process spawned has the proper arguments :
$ ps auxw | grep vpn
root 3752 0.0 0.0 28444 2728 ? S 22:16 0:00 /usr/sbin/openvpn --remote <...> --nobind --dev tun --proto udp --port 1194 --auth-nocache --ping-restart 60 --ping 10 --syslog nm-openvpn --script-security 2 --up /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper --up-restart --persist-key --persist-tun --management 127.0.0.1 1194 --management-query-passwords --route-noexec --ifconfig-noexec --secret <...> --ifconfig 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.1

This alone of course won't fix the UI, but it's a start.
