Public bug reported:
The user I use on my desktop is a normal desktop user no extra rights.
Now I want to connect to my VPN and when I do the network-manager app
tells me that I am connected but I am not. When I run openvpn in a
terminal I get...

Shouldn't a non-admin user be able to connect to a VPN?
This is almost as annoying as how the Available to All Users button is checked
by default now. Making it so if a non-admin user wants to connect to a new
network you need to enter in the admin users password. Not very user friendly
when you can't give the user your admin password.
