[Bug 500718] [NEW] Password doesn't get saved in system-wide pptp connection

[Psy[H[]]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

There are many bugs about vpn secrets in NM, but they appear to be about
communicating with keyrings in user-level connections. And comments are
cluttered with descriptions of different situations.

Let's try a fresh start with one specific situation:
 - system-wide pptp connection
 - password field get emptied on saving connection profile
 - when attempting to connect, it fails immediately, syslog shows 'No VPN secrets!' message (strictly with that spelling).

affects: latest NM in karmic and also packages from
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/trunk/ubuntu karmic main
latest as of now. (network-manager-pptp 0.8~a~git.20091212t102930.0c78581-0ubuntu1~nmt1~karmic)

Identical user-level profile works fine

Where does system-wide vpn connection supposed to save password?
Is there a valid syntax to manually add it as a property to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/vpn_profile_name ?

** Affects: network-manager-pptp (Ubuntu)
