Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

When I connect to a openvpn (with gnome-applet) with X-509 certificates, the network-manager fails (timeout?).
Openvpn has started by this action, but fails to connect.

When I try to connect the second time.
Network manager claims to have failed, 127.0.0.1 socket already in use.
Openvpn keeps on connecting and establishes an connection to the server.

The gnome-applet doesn't indicate that a Openvpn connection is up.
Also the close connection option isn't led up in the gnome-applet.

Attached:
Error log, ifconfig output, versions.

The gateway I'm connecting to, is a IPcop box with Openvpn (zerina) addon.
There's also a SSH daemon running.

When I shut down the sshd, I can connect with Network-manager.

I know off such bug in OpenSwan (ssh and vpn getting in each others way) with PPTP (L2TP) with IPsec, the windows way.
But then it's completely impossible to connect if there's a SSH connection open, or the other way around.
I switched to Openvpn because of this ssh/pptp bug, and have always been able to connect with standard Openvpn (linux and windows) configured as a client.

Very weird.
