I don't think, that bug #415921 is really a duplicate. Because here, the crash happens at the "Forward" button while it happens for me when trying to fill host and name input field. Anyway: Fix it, please :)
I bet it's a duplicate anyway... all those failed assertions are basically a minefield that can be triggered at any point.
I am using Fedora 9 NetworkManager 0.7.0. I had same problem initially. It never even went to the screen of asking kind of vpn to be configured. It turned out there is a seperate NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0. It now works beautifully for me. My system is Linux homebaner.net 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Wed May 21 18:12:35 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Hope this was useful. --sameet
