Hello,
I have the same problem with ubuntu karmic 9.10 fully updated...

'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...
Jan 27 15:05:02 mickael-laptop NetworkManager: info VPN service
'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'
Bogus credentials with OpenVPN work fine, still it's a serious bug!
However the 'Connect automatically' option DOES NOT WORK. It seems that
it does nothing, instead of bringing up the VPN upon login.

OK. I got this to work. it seems that I only had to uncheck Available
