Bug Description
Lubuntu 18.10 and on is using nm-tray for network connections. Unfortunately it lacks a native connection editor and instead loads `nmtui-edit` in a terminal. This is substandard and makes dealing with things like VPNs impossible.
To be clear, with the switch to LXQt from LXDE, Lubuntu is attempting to use applications that do not require GTK. The Ubuntu Release Team imposes a requirement that prevents us from using cmst, otherwise it would be a better choice.
Lubuntu is tracking development of this here:

Currently a workaround is implemented in 19.10 that can be applied to 19.04. See https:/

I just clicked NM dialog on main screen on a daily image & noticed the 'connection info' & 'edit connections' boxes appear; xterm is not installed, so the issue has been fixed I believe.
(it's possible its been fixed for days; and I just noticed; my current daily image was downloaded about 18 hours ago)
