xl2tp shows disconnected even though successful

[freecode]

Using xl2tp on 14.04.1 Trusty, connection information shows that the connection is up, but it does not advance to "connected" as it used to do. I am successfully into my VPN:

Then I receive a message from inotify that I am "disconnected" though that is not true as all VPN connections are available. Seems like an inconvenience only though, as it makes it a little more tedious to disconnect from VPN, does not hamper VPN operations. Not sure why, searching through logs, let me know if a different one might be needed. GUI icon also says "disconnected" though I clearly am connected and can reach VPN resources.
