Description Jeff Bastian 2011-04-04 20:24:01 UTC

Description of problem:
After switching back from nm-applet (with bug 582933 fixed), I miss having the tray icon show my VPN status (connected or not) as the Gnome nm-applet icon does.  Unfortunately vpnc is not 100% reliable and occasionally my VPN connection gets dropped so it's really handy to have the status visible.

Currently I have to click on the icon to open the full status window and verify if the VPN is still running or not when the network seems wonky.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.40.20110323.fc14.i686
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-vpnc-0.9-0.40.20110323.fc14.i686

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to VPN
2. wait for it to randomly disconnect
  
Actual results:
no visible indication that your vpn connect just dropped

Expected results:
immediate feedback that the vpn failed

I see this was added to the upstream TODO list with commit 0e6338b:

||plasma||networkmanager|| network-VPN.svg || panel "icon" for plasma, shows a connected or disconnected VPN connection, 3 steps for connection stages ||<span style="color: red">No</span>||

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:51:55 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
