1). No progress bar is given when trying to connect to the vpn server, and the icon doesn't change in any way once connected (if it connects). Therefore, no feedback is given to the user as to the status of the connection.
Not done yet.
2). If the VPN server returns a message (for example, something to the effect of a 'security notice' .. in 10.3 that would be shown on the screen in a dialog box. This no longer happens in 11.0.
True, also missing due to 0.7 port.
3). The vpn connection drops after a few seconds / minutes of use, with no indication to the end user. Command-line 'vpnc' doesn't have this problem and will stay connected for 8+ hours.
That's not a KNetworkManager issue but most likely a bug in the NetworkManager VPNC backend. Could you please create a new bugreport for that one?
