Description Jesse Keating 2007-09-30 00:33:16 UTC 
At a seemingly random point after VPN is connected, the icon will lose the
little lock.  Yet the bullet for the VPN connection is still filled, and I'm
still connected to the VPN.  Obviously this shouldn't happen :)

Is it just my imagination, or has this stopped happening? I still get dropped
from the VPN but nm-applet notices and DTRT.
Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-11-06 15:02:49 UTC 
Still happens to me (like just now, for example).
Comment 4 Daniel Berrangé 2007-11-11 19:39:04 UTC 
This still happens with the F8  GA packages

NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.5.svn3030.fc8
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.4.svn3030.fc8

The GNOME panel applet has lost the 'lock' icon, but I am still connected to the
VPN:

$ /sbin/ifconfig tun0
tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr

And traffic to the VPN still works. It's just the applet seems to have forgotten....
