Hmm, sounds like the PPP setting isn't getting sent to NetworkManager
then somehow? You said you _do_ have a PPP setting for the connection
in GConf, right?
Instead of adding a new PPP setting there, can you put in a call to:
nm_connection_dump (connection);
and see what the contents of the connection really are?
