Review request for Network Management.


Description
-------

This fixes three issues with the OpenConnect VPN support:
 - A pending connection attempt cannot be cancelled, occasionally causing kded to lock up while waiting for it. This has been reported by users when behind a captive portal which accepts HTTPS connections but never does anything else, causing the connection attempt never to complete.

 - The XML configuration file listing the available VPN servers was not being parsed correctly, and the originally configured server wasn't being de-duplicated from that list.

 - Selecting a host in the combobox did not start a connection.

The post-review seems to have submitted all three in one patch; separate commits are at http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/networkmanagement.git

Tested against the Fedora 16 0.9.0.2 package, with OpenConnect 3.19 (and I'm about to release OpenConnect 3.20 because 3.19 introduced a stupid bug which occasionally breaks the KDE authentication dialog.)

Is the nm09 branch still active? These patches seem to apply cleanly both to master and nm09.

Testing
-------

Connecting to $EMPLOYER's VPN, selecting different hosts from the list (now that the list works), and observing a successful cancellation instead of having to (press a button and) wait for the connection to complete each time.


Thanks,

David Woodhouse
