You can use nm-connection-editor that displays strongswan properties correctly. gnome-control-center uses gtk_box_pack_start() function that failed due to incorrect strongswan UI file, preventing the panel from showing widgets. However, the problem has been fixed upstream: https://git.strongswan.org/?p=strongswan.git;a=commit;h=3889db0d9dcaca1f2927cb996a2f66a528fadc17 You can copy the UI file [1] to /usr/share/gnome-vpn-properties/strongswan/nm-strongswan=dialog.ui as a temporary fix. [1] https://git.strongswan.org/?p=strongswan.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/frontends/gnome/properties/nm-strongswan-dialog.ui;hb=refs/heads/nm-1.2 Hi Blueowl.
The following procedure resulted in error while opening said dialog (Error: unable to load VPN connection editor).
----
sudo cp /usr/share/gnome-vpn-properties/strongswan/nm-strongswan-dialog.ui{,.bkp}
sudo wget -O /usr/share/gnome-vpn-properties/strongswan/nm-strongswan-dialog.ui https://git.strongswan.org/?p=strongswan.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/frontends/gnome/properties/nm-strongswan-dialog.ui;hb=refs/heads/nm-1.2
----
Also, the following error is displayed in the journal:
----
gnome-control-center.desktop[25011]: ** (gnome-control-center:25011): WARNING **: Couldn't load builder file: (unknown)
gnome-control-center.desktop[25011]: (gnome-control-center:25011): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
gnome-control-center.desktop[25011]: (gnome-control-center:25011): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

Is there anything more that I should do?
Meanwhile, indeed, the old nm-connection-editor indeed works as expected (only with the old ui file, using the one you provided causes nm-connection-editor also to fail).
Thanks!
The link probably changed in the meantime. This should work: https://git.strongswan.org/?p=strongswan.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/frontends/gnome/properties/nm-strongswan-dialog.ui;h=278fd006b8268bf2ee0f97ddc750719c9af61a60;hb=53fe8b12458bf166fdf35ab8b527a75daf78209d This is basically the latest update of https://git.strongswan.org/?p=strongswan.git;a=history;f=src/frontends/gnome/properties/nm-strongswan-dialog.ui Blueowl, the issue was actually the download command being wrong. Now, everything works! Any chance this being fixed in F24? Thanks. NetworkManager-strongswan-1.3.1-1.fc23.1 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository.

Created attachment 1148029 [details] Screenshot of the GUI issue Description of problem: The NetworkManager-strongswan-gnome GUI is broken, without primordial fields being rendered, making the addition of any StrongSwan VPN impossible. No other field than the Name and Firewall Zone are being rendered on screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManger-strongswan-gnome-1.3.1-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: I have been able to reproduce on 2 different completely updated Fedora 23 systems. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install NetworkManager-strongswan-gnome package. 2. Open Network settings on Gnome control panel. 3. Click to add a New connection (the plus sign) 4. Select the "VPN option", then the "IPsec/IKEv2 (strongswan)". Actual results: The dialog is rendered without important fields, like the gateway to connect, the user, password ou certificate information. Also, it´s impossible to ever click the "Add" button, since it's greyed out. There a screenshot attached to this bug report with the result. Expected results: It's expected to be able to fill the basic connection information trough the GUI for StrongSwan. Additional info:
