Brett,

I'm at a loss to explain what's going on here. I find that if you put 
the following into the 'Command:' box for the launcher properties it 
will work:

   xfterm4 vpnclient connect xxxxx

Be sure to uncheck the 'open in terminal' box. I thought that checking 
that box caused it to run xfterm4 and pass it the commands from the 
launcher, which should accomplish the very same thing. I hope somebody 
knows whats going on here!
