That's what I do. I keep having to add new items to be ignored, and
update the vpn service plugin in lock-step with the auth-dialog (which
is shipped with openconnect itself). Hence:

I'm actually tempted to make the vpn service plugin just ignore
_anything_ it doesn't understand. There's no benefit in bailing out, is
there?

Yes. It actually connects automatically when you change the selected
host in the combobox... but if the one you want is the _default_, and
you haven't got "automatically start connecting...' set, then you'll end
up hitting the connect button.
