Yeah, the rebooting sucks. All it takes is an inotify watch on /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/ and a reconciliation of the new on-disk set to the current in-memory set of VPN services and we're there. It's been a longstanding enhancement request, but nobody has gotten around to it yet. If anyone wants to take this, there's tons of example inotify code in NetworkManager's system-settings plugins you could work from. Or just use the new GLib directory monitor objects or something.
