Many thanks! After installing PPA version (network-manager-pptp 0.7~~svn20081015t024626-0ubuntu2~nm3), encrypted pptp connection is now working in Intrepid. Some notes below.

UI is still very much buggy, reliable configuration must be done/checked with gconf-editor:

- config option for refuse-EAP still missing, must be set with gconf-editor

- after 1) selecting point-to-point encryption (MPPE) and Security: 128 bit, 2) editing vpn configuration again later, MPPE is now shown as unchecked, with Security: All Available (Default) => only gconf-editor shows the real state

- after setting some ipv4 addresses they can't be removed without gconf-editor (they are back when editing vpn config again)

IMO: route setup would require some examples or explaining. It was surprisingly confusing to set routes so that only addressses behind vpn'ed network were accessed via vpn gateway.
