I gave it a try (on Debian), but it didn't out of the box.
If I activate a normal (i.e. no vpn) connection, priv->vpn_config will
be NULL.
Thus in rewrite_resolv_conf(line 445), dispatch_resolvconf is called
with an empty config. The results is that in dispatch_resolvconf(line
377) the resolvconf entry will be *removed* and as TRUE is returned,
rewrite_resolv_conf will return at this point.

I applied the attached patch to get it working for me. I haven't tested
VPN connections.

I'm not sure if openresolv is completely compatible to (Debian)
resolvconf. In Debian, if /etc/resolv.conf is *not* a symlink to
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf, it means that resolvconf is disabled.
I guess we should add a check at nm-named-manager.c:349, to return FALSE
in that case, so NM will update /etc/resolv.conf

Cheers,
Michael
