I was also able to find resolution by installing the below packages. I had wrongly made the assumption that vpn was part of the out of box experience - I'm kicking myself for not seeing the obvious now though.

I do think this would be a welcomed addition in the future especially for users like myself who are just not picking up linux.

Thank you for your help,
Devin

I'm glad you have things sorted, and I think you suggestion is a good
one. We are obviously way beyond feature freeze for Intrepid, but this
feedback can be considered for Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04). I will file a
separate enhancement bug.

Devin McBride, are you still seeing this behaviour and if so do you have
all the required packages installed?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

I have installed openvpn and network-manager-openvpn, but when I click on nm-applet -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN, the [ Add ] button is inactive, as are all the buttons in this tab. All the other nm-applet tabs (Wired, Wireless, Mobile Broadband, DSL) have active buttons. Afaict, I cannot configure a vpn with Network Manager.
