That bug deals with dbus rejecting permission to send a message to the user at the console.

This bug deals with a separate issue: dbus allows sending the message but, <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/453807/comments/31">as falstaff noted</a> the program later attempts to read the "Secret Property", and it gets inconsistent results: the call to nm_setting_vpn_get_secret (s_vpn, NM_OPENVPN_KEY_NOSECRET) sometimes returns the string "true", sometimes NULL. The connection works when it returns "true", and fails when it returns NULL, resulting in intermittent failure to connect. Most of the time, the connection fails, but every few times it does work.

Please, remove the "duplicate" link in this bug, it is incorrect.
