Bug Description
OpenVPN was previously working well. I used the Network Manager menu to access VPN configurations and connections.
Now, the "VPN Connections" menu is still present, with all my usual connections, but selecting any of the options does nothing. Also, selecting the "Configure VPN..." option does nothing.
I watched /var/log/syslog, but nothing happens when I select any of the VPN options.
I was able to access my VPN connections through "Edit Connections...", export the settings into a .conf file, and use "sudo openvpn --config connection.conf" on the command line to successfully connect. So I don't think it's a problem with OpenVPN, just with the network-manager GUI.
System info:

What I expected to happen:
1) Clicking "Configure VPN" in the "VPN Connections" submenu should bring up a configuration dialog
2) Clicking one of the VPN connections in the "VPN Connections" submenu should start the VPN connection process, with a status message and a lock icon on the network widget when connected
What happened instead:
1) When clicking on "Configure VPN", the menu closes, and nothing else happens
2) When clicking on one of the VPN connections, the menu closes, and nothing else happens
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
