Installing NetworkManager-gnome-vpnc helps (even under xfce).  Perhaps this is a missing dependency issue.
Comment 2 Jirka Klimes 2013-11-25 09:16:30 UTC 
Yeah, the plugin packages were split into two parts (main VPN service and GUI stuff),

So, NetworkManager-vpnc source package now contains NetworkManager-vpnc and NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome packages. NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome is needed for nm-applet/nm-connection-editor.
Comment 3 Matthew Davis 2014-03-03 18:39:33 UTC 
I can confirm that installing NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome & NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome in Fedora20 allows for vpnc/openvpnc configuration under NetworkManager under XFCE (have not tested in Gnome, but I suspect it works there now too).
Comment 4 Jeremy Harris 2014-08-28 14:11:26 UTC 
Does this mean the dependency has now been added?
