Public bug reported:
1. Start a PPTP connection using the GUI (first create a new connection and
enter all the information)
2. Once the connection is UP everything is good.
3. Connection times out after some time (because our PPTP server forcibly times
out connections)
4. Unity GUI still thinks that PPTP connection is up and won't let you start
another one or let you disconnect the current one.
5. You can log out and log in - but the problem will still persist.
6. You have to reboot the machine to make the GUI start the connection again.
I think this is "critical" usability bug.
While you guys are at it fixing this one, the PPTP configuration dialog
has an "export" button. That button also does not work. The export
operation gets an error after you select a file to save the PPTP
configuration into.
Ubuntu version 14.10 with latest updates as of 25th Jan, 2015.
