Comment 12 for bug 89120

Excellent work Christopher - thanks very much. I will ensure this is documented wider. I should point out two important things:

1. You can edit gconf keys on the disk, as you say, but you shouldn't. Use gconf-editor (GUI) or gconftool:

gconftool --all-dirs /system/networking/vpn_connections will list the connections
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/networking/vpn_connections/Connection@32@Name will remove a connection.

2. If you remove from the disk (bad), you can shutdown gconfd with gconftool --shutdown - it should restart itself.

(If gconftool doesn't work, use gconftool-2 instead. On most systems one is an alias to the other through the alternatives system).
