Magnus,

Thanks for the patch! Unfortunately, this issue is still being discussed upstream (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603575). I'd go on that aspect with the reporter for that bug and say that the best in all cases is to calculate an MTU (and MSS) from the route to the gateway, unless there is a value specified by the server. A pretty generic solution would be best as well, since this doesn't only affect the openvpn plugin.

Unless you have a reason to believe it really should be available anyway? I just think it's something that would be best to have as automated as possible and not subject users to wondering "what is this fragmentation thing? what do I set there?"

In any case, please do post your patch (cleaned up to exclude the changelog parts) on the above bug if possible, just in case :)
