Matthias, thanks for a dpd-less vpnc version.

It might not actually needed anymore - I just upgraded to 8.10 and I am successfully running the vpnc version from the normal repos now. I am making use of the "Disable DPD" checkbox that was implemented according to

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-June/msg00156.html
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403661

If I uncheck the "Disable DPD" option, the VPN connection to my PIX is promptly disconnected after 300sec - with DPD disabled, it stays up. So now we can disable DPD on a per connection basis, which is the best way to have it, since now we can connect to VPN concentrators with or without DPD support.
