Spell in the dialogues title L2TP #212

In the New connection and Edit connection dialogs, https://github.com/nm-l2tp/NetworkManager-l2tp/blob/main/appdata/l2tp.png , the software shall spell explicitly the type of VPN connection, irrespective of how the user named that connection.

I have created a NM-VPN connection and some months later I opened the edit-dialog and was wondering what NM-type the connection was. The title of the dialog shall clarify this.

Sorry for my tardiness in responding.

The title bar in that screen shot along with the Apply and Cancel buttons aren't from this repository, you can confirm by opening properties/nm-l2tp-dialog.ui file from this repository with the glade application. So I'm not able to control what is in the title bar.

With many NetworkManager VPN plug-ins, hovering of the gateway text box will tell you what type of VPN it is, unfortunately it isn't universal.

I see. There are for sure some other ways to highlight in the dialog, apart from using its title bar, that the dialog is for L2TP connections.

The L2TP server tooltip and use L2TP ephemeral port checkbox should be enough to identify it as a L2TP vpn connection. In some user interfaces it is much more clearer as to the type of VPN connection it is before you even get to that dialog box.
