Same problem here,

Tried the patch but it won't work. nm is still overwriting /etc/resolv.conf.

nm - openvpn plugin connecting... no dns information found so /etc/resolv.conf is empty:

In the openvpn plugin i can choose to set the option 'Only use VPN connection for these addresses'. Which i use because
i only need openvpn to connect to two remote hosts. Like Eythian said, it must not modify /etc/resolv.conf when this option is enabled.
