I have come to the conclusion (logs will be reproduced next week and added)
that network-manager-openvpn might not be functional when
used with the network-manager service, as
network-manager-vpnc is structured in a similar way
and it's similar structured in code and how it's being
activated.

I can only test the case for vpnc as I'm debugging
the package right now. It kind-of-works, but the rule
is not being found when you try to activate the
vpnc connection.
