Question on network-manager-openconnect status behavior

Hello!

I've been using network-manager-openconnect (with the related
libopenconnect-dev, libopenconnect5,
network-manager-openconnect-gnome, network-manager-openconnect,
openconnect, vpnc bits) and it's working great with Palo Alto
GlobalProtect (both the on-prem and cloud hosted).

The only issue I've noticed is my VPN tunnel session will apparently
"time out" and all traffic just stalls until I disconnect from the VPN
and reconnect. The Network-Manager VPN icon still shows things as the
VPN link is still up, which throws me for a big loop at first.

I wasn't sure if this was expected behavior or if there's some setting
I'm missing that would monitor the session inside the tunnel and show
the VPN link as "down" in a UI way so it's easier to detect this
timeout case. (I also wasn't sure if this was the right place to send
this and if this is from the lower level openconnect part or the
Network-Manager GUI part)

Thanks!
