Yes, that is right. That is part of "integrating the gui better with 
openvpn" further development. Currently I don't recieve any information 
about the accual status of the connection.

I could start parsing the log to check this, but I think James was 
thinking about implementing a better way to communicate with openvpn to 
get this type of information, so I think I'll wait and use this instead.

There was some discusstion about this a few days ago, and I did spend an 
evening looking at vwWidgets. It looks great, but I still felt that the 
step for me moving to an OO language right now, when I've never written a 
line of code in C++ was a bit to big.

In it's current state most of the code come from openvpnserv.c (the 
service wrapper) and just has todo with searching the directory for 
config-files and launching openvpn. This code I think should be rather 
easy to port to other platforms to.

When/if I come to the point that I'm ready to implement a gui based 
config-file editor, I will give wxWidgets another thought as that's the 
part that require most "graphics".
