Or, given the bugginess of network-manager[1], I can just cast it aside
and configure /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/openvpn/*.

[1] For example, the OpenVPN connection editor wants a key file, a
certificate file and a CA certificate file and it has a file chooser to
select each one, and I do, but by the time it saves those to gconf, they
are completely different names in the same directory. I can't imagine
for the life of me how that got through even the most basic of QA.
