I’m still a little concerned, though, since the intent of the code that was generated the “Stopping registered applet secret agent” error message is clearly to disable the agent when GNOME Shell ≥ 3.4 is running. That message no longer appears for me. Maybe the only reason my VPN works now is that I managed to trigger some kind race condition that prevents nm-applet from detecting GNOME Shell?
