For my part, I prefer network-manager. wicd wouldn't do vpn when I
made that decision, and that may have changed.

Really? I use xfce in preference to Gnome, and I have network-manager

its functionality; it may be that it _recommends_ "unneeded gnome
crap," but you are free to reject those recommendations.
