I am not sure who maintains the VPNC plugin but that is something that
should be changed in the plugin.  I think Jon Nettleton was reworking
the VPNC GUI, maybe that is something he can look at?

NetworkManagerDispatcher is a daemon that runs commands based on the
network state.  So you can place scripts there to run when an
interface goes up or down.  I try to keep a list of scripts posted
here so you can get an idea of how they work from these:
