Description:
Gnome-shell NetworkManager menu VPN switch-button stays in "off" position, even when enabled and the vpn is working.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/gnome-shell 3.8.3-3
extra/networkmanager 0.9.8.2-1
extra/networkmanager-openconnect 0.9.8.2-1
extra/openconnect 1:5.01-1

Steps to reproduce:
Under Gnome-Shell 3.8:
1. Configure a OpenConnect VPN in the Network Settings, this is then displayed in the dropdown menu of the NetwokManger GUI in Gnome-Shell like "Name of VPN [[ ]Off]"
2. When activating the switch a Login Window appears and I'm able to type in my credentials and push the login button.
3. The Network Manager Icon in the top bar of Gnome-shell wil changes to one with a small lock beside it and ifconfig shows there is a vpn established. Everything is working as expected.
4. When looking in the dropdown Menu, activated by pushing the NetworkManager Icon, the VPN button-switch is still in the off position ("Name of VPN [[ ]Off]") and not in the expected on position ("Name of VPN [On [ ]]"). VPN is working.
This task depends upon

Any output from journalctl about this?

Journalctl looks good as far as I can see.

Attached: Journalctl output, screenshot of NetwokManager GUI with VPN activated Icon and Switch-button off, ps -ef with grep on openconnect.

Another remark, The Problem is the Gnome-shell GUI which doesn't represent the correct status of the VPN with the switch-button.
The Network settings (GTK) GUI represents the correct status, as seen in the attach compare screenshot. It also repsonses on switching it off with the (GTK) button.

When I switch off the VPN, the Gnome-shell icon also doesn't change to the normal icon (without lock).

The same bug occures also on my Dell XPS 12 and my colleagues Lenovo W510.
