Bug Description
Hello,
I am using network-manager to connect to an openvpn vpn and for a couple of days now, network-manager does not keep or save the password for the vpn anymore. I have to input the password again and again every time I do connect to the vpn.
It used to work before, so this is probably a regression.
Currently installed network-manager packages
ii network-manager 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7

This is an xubuntu 14.04 64 bits machine with all patches applied.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
The attached screenshot shows the options dialog of network-manager for the openvpn passwd. I blacked out the username. The field for password never keeps the password if I save the openvpn settings dialog.
