Same here. Can't do VPN editing or adding. How can one adjust these things manually?
In the way of logs, there are few. If I run gnome-control-center from a command prompt, the following is thrown when I attempt to create or import an OpenVPN connection. ** (gnome-control-center:2216): WARNING **: Couldn't load builder file: (unknown) Don't see any other relevant logging, if anyone can help me with that I'd be happy to provide it.
I have the same problem. If I run "nm-connection-editor" from a terminal I recieve the following output: [crosell@localhost ~]$ nm-connection-editor Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.

Turns out that the Glade xml file is invalid. GtkGrid, unlike GtkTable, does not have the properties "n_rows" or "n_columns". Why this yields en fatal error I do not know. However, simply removing these 12 lines on 6 locations from the xml file seems to solve the problem. Also open the XML file in a later version of Glade and re-save it also solves the problem but generates more changes to the file. There are still some layout issues with the OpenVPN dialog, caused by a very long label. But with this change the dialog works at-least.
Created attachment 960091 [details] Glade XML file resaved in Glade 3.18.3 To use this file instead: Replace the "nm-openvpn-dialog.ui" file in the "/usr/share/gnome-vpn-properties/openvpn/" folder.
Claes Rosell's attachment seems to resolve the issue.
(In reply to kkuehl from comment #6) > Claes Rosell's attachment seems to resolve the issue. Is there a reason this change hasn't been made, and a new package built?
