Bug Description

I am using network-manager-gnome for PPTP-VPN connection.
It worked fine for about a month and it was stable connected.
I am also using vpnautoconnect (source:barraudmanuel) which also works fine and has in my opinion nothing to do with this error.

Actually now it takes 1-5 days until the VPN-credentials (not the username, only the passphrase) are lost.
After that I can see in the GUI of networkmanager where to configure VPN the field passphrase is empty.
manually adding the passphrase again doesn't help.
restarting service network-manager doesn't help.
It only works again after rebooting.
I've noticed today that "flight mode" was activated maybe it has sthg. to do with it.
