Bug Description

With an active VPN connection, the connection's item in the indicator menu (VPN Connections > VPN Name) shows a check mark. Clicking on the item closes the indicator menu and removes the check mark. This could be interpreted as a disconnect or failed disconnect (as the indicator icon still shows the VPN lock overlay).

Confirmed, I seem to have mis-connected the bits to have the checkmark properly toggle between connected and disconnected.
