I've opened the following but report with gnome:

nm-applet 0.70 is missing configuration settings that 0.66 had - specifically PPTP MTU. Without this I get a serious performance hit that results in a unusable PPTP connection. SYSLOG reports packet buffering, retransmists, and dropped packts. The workaround is to manually set the MTU after the tunnel has been established (ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1416). I used "1416" since this is the default value provided by nm-applet 0.66.
