Thank you Gert for a tip, I'll try connect-retry.
As for not responding to HUP, I'll file a bug report. One could find useful
to send HUP signal (like I do through the post-connect script in wicd)
whenever connection reappears so not reacting on it makes to wait
additional time for openvpn to connect.
