Sure. Robert and I had discussed doing this with inotify or something, because what we really want to do is monitor the vpn service config files directory: /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/. NM won't expose VPN connections that don't have a valid service file in that directory, and of course since it doesn't pick up the service files until it's restarted, you can't just add a VPN plugin and go. The other alternative would be sending NM a HUP signal, which would cause a reload of the VPN service config files. And that's good to. But for either case we have to ensure that, if a VPN service config file is removed, and a currently active VPN connection is using that VPN service, that we terminate that connection immediately too. It's a very well-defined problem with a known solution. Slight lack of time though, but I'd be happy to help someone take a stab at it if they have the time.
