Just tried #16 again and had the same result as with my other fix attempts - the first attempt to connect to a vpn after deleting the files works, but thereafter the vpn submenu stops responding and clicking on "disconnect" does not produce any result.

I tried using "vpnc-disconnect" in terminal. The response was "no vpnc found running". In the end I tried "sudo service network-manager restart" and this broke the vpn connection. The vpn submenu remained unresponsive after the network manager restart, but the "Edit Connections" menu item at the bottom of the connections menu has continued to work throughout, so it seems the problem is only with the vpn-related parts of the menu.

Also tried this on a clean x64 install (prior tests were on 32-bit) and had the same problem. The 64-bit install had never even been configured with a VPN before. Its VPN submenu was unresponsive right from the beginning when I tried to configure a connection.
