           Summary: Renaming a VPN configuration doesn't work in nm-applet
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Alpha 7
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: federico@novell.com

1. Start with a VPN configuration (I'm using the NetworkManager-novellvpn
stuff)

2. Go into the "Configure VPN" dialog.  Select one configuration, and click the
"Edit" button.

3. Rename that VPN configuration.  I renamed mine from "Novell VPN" to "Novell
VPN (Provo)"

4. Exit the VPN configuration dialog.

5. nm-applet prints a warning to the console (invisible in the GUI):  "couldn't
get 'name' item from GConf".

This happens as it tried to fetch
/system/networking/vpn_connections/Novell@32@VPN - the old name of the
configuration, instead of the new one.

Along the way, NetworkManager itself seems to get very confused.  After
deleting all my GConf keys under /system/networking/vpn_connections, I had to
kill NM, restart it, and re-define my VPN settings.  It wouldn't work if I just
erased the GConf data and re-created it in nm-vpn-properties.
