I'm trying to connect to a VPN using KNetworkManager of 11.3. My private key 
is protected by a password. KNetworkManager never asks for the password 
and the connection is thus never established. The important messages of 
the log seem to be:
Sep  6 22:29:01 karl nm-openvpn[17858]: OpenVPN 2.1.1 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

setting may allow this configuration to call user-defined scripts

The GNOME interface seems to have a configuration setting for the password

similar in KNetworkManager.
