Description Harald Hoyer 2012-03-06 08:30:16 UTC 
Select VPN connection in NetworkManager:

Mar 06 09:24:56 lenovo NetworkManager[637]: <info> VPN service 'vpnc' appeared; activating connections
Mar 06 09:24:56 lenovo gcr-prompter[1281]: Gcr: could not grab keyboard: not viewable
Mar 06 09:24:56 lenovo gcr-prompter[1281]: Gcr: could not grab keyboard: not viewable
Mar 06 09:24:58 lenovo NetworkManager[637]: <error> [1331022298.620063] [nm-vpn-connection.c:925] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request.


Don't know who to blame. NM, nm-applet or gcr. Reassign at will.
Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2012-03-06 08:30:54 UTC 
$ rpm -q gcr NetworkManager
gcr-3.3.5-1.fc17.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.9.3.995-0.4.git20120302.fc17.x86_64
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2012-03-13 20:19:43 UTC 
Probably NM, in fact I think this is a dupe of bug 802540 and it'll be fixed in the next update.
