Partially. I was not interested in OpenVPN, but L2TP/IPSec VPN (my new
employer is using) so I was using network-manager-l2tp module with the same 
problems.
(Actually it is much more painful because it requires some more
patching of xl2tpd and strongswan to bring it up together... They have
somehow hardcoded locations for configuration and secrets...)

But with Maxim's DBus related patches and my NM patch it seemed to be
starting daemons at least.
