Ah-HA!

it keeps the stuff under ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections, in a 
series of subdirectories with config files named %gconf.xml. several
subdirectories (and %gconf.xml files) per vpn connection.

While I'm sure there's value in making everything configurable via
a pile of xml files, I sometimes long for the days of flat .rc files.
Things were so much easier to find and tweak in those days.

Thanks for the hint on using find!
