Seeing the same "Failed to request VPN secrets" problem in 14.10, and can confirm that a workaround is simply to log out and log back in, WITHOUT rebooting.

#34 works simply because of the logging in and out, not because of moving/deleting the .gconf directory or its contents.

#98's workaround is not acceptable as it stores the VPN password in plaintext.
