Description David Woodhouse 2011-04-21 14:35:06 UTC 
When configuring my VPN connection, the default name is 'VPN connection 1'.

But in the list that comes up in the control-center's network configuration screen, it gets called "VPN connection 1 VPN".

Why do we add " VPN" to the name, when it's likely to have "VPN" in the name already *and* it has an appropriate icon? We don't do this consistently; when I'm actually *connected* it only shows as "VPN connection 1" in the applet.

My company VPN connection is named "Intel AnyConnect VPN", and thus shows up in the configuration tool as "Intel AnyConnect VPN VPN".

Or actually, when I select it, it shows in the right-hand side of the tool as just "Intel AnyConnect VPN…" because the window is too small. I cannot resize the window to make it fit (and I can't fix the font sizes either in GNOME3 AFAICT, but that's a separate bug).

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 15:43:14 UTC 
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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:
