Comment 7 for bug 113270

Restarting the machine did allow the connection I created to be displayed. However, no that it is available to connect to, it has disappeared from the list of connections to manage. I revisited the gconf path: System/Networking/vpn_connections/CSU

It now contains the following:

last_attempt_success : false
name : CSU
routes : []
service_name : org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ppp_starter
vpn_date : []

gconftool --shutdown does not change anything.
sudo NetworkManager restart does not change anything either.

I unset the new key last_attempt_success with no change.

I can create a new VPN connection, and it is shown in the list of VPNs to connect to, as well as in the list of VPNs to manage. At this point, the second VPN connection (the one just created) has all of its edit options grayed out. Even after deletion of the second VPN connection, the first connection is still not listed in the management window.
