Well, I downgraded to 14.04 and the problem has gone away completely for me.
Nothing I tried with 14.10 worked. It may have worked if I had done a completely clean install (one where no existing /home partition existed). As I've mentioned, the problem began after I upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10. Then I installed 14.10 again, but I did this 14.10 install while having an existing /home partition (so not a completely clean reinstall).
There are two bugs why I cannot continue to run 14.10. This one, and one with Autokey-GTK:

Here are my thoughts on this bug. You'd think it have to do with one of those hidden configuration file in the /home/user directory. However, this may not be the case: people having tried deleting those config files and folder completely (so that they are recreated from scratch next use) and the problem didn't go away.
Have vpnc or network-manager packages changed since 14.04?
You can determine your version by typing this as a single line into the terminal:
sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions ; sudo apt-show-versions network-manager network-
In 14.04, I get this output:
network-
network-
What version of these are running in 14.10?
