Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.0+3
Severity: important

Since upgrading to GNOME 3 yesterday, I now find that network-manager
is unable to connect to a VPN.  The message in .xsession-errors is:

** (nm-applet:4570): WARNING **: Connection activation failed: Not
authorized to control networking.

I don't have the faintest idea how to revert to the former behaviour.

Yeah, you need a display manager which integrates properly with
ConsoleKit: atm your options are: gdm3, kdm or lightdm.

Not really a bug in netork-manager(-gnome), so closing.

Thanks for reporting back,
