The applet doesn't make an effort to copy over old PPTP connections, but
that code could certainly be written just like it exists for OpenVPN and
vpnc so far.  In the mean time, you could use XSLT or something to
transform the old format to the new format and reload into GConf, but
that doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun :)
