Which package provides that? I have no such thing in my menus?

Mine doesn't. Please right click the menu entry and select "Revert to
original" and see if that fixes anything for you.

the packages is network-manager-openvpn
the .desktop file is /usr/share/applications/nm-openvpn.desktop

after the lastest updates the icon disappears from my users' desktop....
now it is only visible logging in as root.
the menu properties now shows the right command line path, but the
launcher does not work.
anyway launching from terminal works

fixed in hardy

No, this is actually not fixed in Hardy with all the updates.

I installed package network-manager-openvpn and the element "VPN connection manager (vpnc)" appeared as unselected.

I went to "Edit Menus", made this element to be shown and after clicking on it:
Error: could not find «nm-vpn-properties» (No such file or directory)

Looking at the properties I see the following command:
nm-vpn-properties --import-service org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc --import-file %f

But nm-vpn-properties is not on the PATH, and that is why it is not found:
roger@roger-laptop:~$ nm-vpn-properties
bash: nm-vpn-properties: command not found

However the nm-vpn-properties program it is installed under:
/usr/lib/network-manager/nm-vpn-properties

which is not in PATH
echo $PATH
roger@sindreu-laptop:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

So I suppose you should include nm-vpn-properties to a different directory or simply specify the whole path in the gnome menu.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks.

confirmed to be fixed in hardy or later. is this still an issue in gutsy?

i reopened this bug because in intrepid it seems that nm-vpn-properties does not exist any more.
so i think that the launcher (also if not visible by default) should be deleted.
