Sentry Crash Report:

Description Craig Magina 2013-08-25 15:29:34 UTC

The crash only occurs when it is successful, watching syslog shows the vpn connection is successful. No crash occurs when it fails to connect to the vpn. The crash does not occur on the same system using the old plasma network manager.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a VPN via the widget
Actual Results:  
Plasma crashes and does not restart like happens on normal plasma crashes.

Expected Results:  
Plasma doesn't crash and the network icon changes to show its successful vpn connection.

The system is running Kubuntu 13.10 amd64 and plasma-nm-0.0~git20130816-0ubuntu2. There is a similar, possibly duplicate bug, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321392.

Could you please test it with the change above and when it still crashes, can you please provide some backtrace?
