I use KDE so I am limited in what I can do with GNOME Network Manager, but...
Can you go to the Network Connections, select VPN,
select the pptp connection and edit it.
Click the Advanced button, which I think is above the Save button.

Doing a google search: networkmanager pptp compression
I got the URL http://blog.herbertm.ca/archives/258
which may help us.

Can you tell us what the old settings were before changing any settings?

Can you make the settings be similar to the screen shot in the above URL?
I.e., have only MSCHAP selected, MPPE checked, 128 bit (most secure),
I think it doesn't matter if TCP header compression is checked/unchecked,
but have the other compressions unchecked.

While I would not terminate a connection if compression was not negotiated,
I would terminate a connection if encryption were not successfully negotiated.

Were there any messages about encryption negotiation in the log?
