           Summary: NetworkManager crashes on connection cancellation
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 13.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: srid@rkmail.ru

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.16

I have following setup:
1. openSUSE 13.1 x86_64 with KDE4
2. plasma-nm as a frontend to NM
3. a Zyxel home router with wifi
4. an openVPN tunnel configured in plasma-nm

plasma-nm is configured to automatically connect to wifi if it present and
automatically start VPN tunnel once we are connected to wifi.
Everything works fine when wifi router has a connection with Internet, troubles
come when Internet isn't available (like cable isn't plugged to router's WAN
port): NM will try to connect, but it will fail to connect both wifi and vpn,
and it will try to connect again infinite times. And once you try to cancel
connection (either WiFi of VPN) NetworkManager will crash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a wifi connection in NM (connection A)
2. make a openvpn connection in NM (connection B)
3. configure plasma-nm to connect A automatically
4. configure plasma-nm to connect B after A is established
5. reconfigure your network so B's vpn host would be impossible to reach
6. try to connect to A
7. try to cancel either A or B
Actual Results:  
NetworkManager will crash

Expected Results:  
1. NetworkManager should not crash
2. NM should not consider connection A as "failed" if it cannot establish B
3. systemd should try to restart NM if it crashed
