I've had a few problems with vpnc and knetworkmanager.  In the end I
use nm-applet instead as its all configurable from there.  nm-applet
also has the benefit of being able to read the scf config files (via
import) so if you need routes over and above what is in the scf file
you can either configure them manually in nm-applet or add them to the
scf file.
