I think this no longer applies upstream, because https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707953 and the fix for it completely removed src/shell-watcher.c, where the patch was necessary.
Because of that, I would recommend to apply the patch to the current version as it is in Ubuntu. I can also confirm that the patch solves the problem on my utopic system. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #707953 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707953 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297849 Title: [SRU] Virtual private network connection fails after distribution upgrade due to outdated Network Manager configuration files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1297849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
