VPN does not connect automatically. I set up an openvpn connection which works. Unfortunately knetworkmanager won't connect to it without me clicking the vpn connection.

Of course i have enabled "connect automatically" in the vpn connections properties.

Using Kubuntu Lucid with amd64.

I think it's NetworkManager's issue (not kNM):

(this feature doesn't work, but there is workaround)

This is upstream bug:

It is the NetworkManager daemon that triggers the connection start if
auto-connect is configured. The NM clients (Plasma NM and nm-applet) just save
the configuration.
