I have a similar situation with mounting external devices in dolphin which is now not authorized to mount devices, wicd and mounting devices manually via the console works fine however this is obviously not suitable for everyday use..
Tried the various solutions however creating a symlink has no effect and starting KDE through .xinitrc means that the KDE NMApplet can interface with NetworkMangerD but cannot setup connections or influence the daemon..
]]>I am suffering similar issues, but it seems that there is a file that nm-applet is looking for that is missing. /run/dbus/system_bus_socket (No such file or directory)
Also tail -f /var/log/messages.log. Also the /usr/lib/NetworkManager directory seems not to have made it through the /lib usr/lib merger. The error is: <warn> Failed to open plugin directory /usr/lib/NetworkManager: Error opening directory '/usr/lib/NetworkManager': No such file or directory
I get the machine online now using netcfg tools (wifi-menu) so I can paste more data if you need it.
]]>I found linking /var/run to /run worked for me
]]>I just installed NetworkManager on my new laptop and nm-applet doesn't work.
Changing "deny" to "allow" on /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf solved this problem.
]]>So I mark this topic as solved.
Thanks for all you help!
]]>My desktop and laptop are running fine without a problem.
Thinking I may have a package missing after recent systemd changes.
Back to the terminal
Thank you for your help

Have tried testing and is does seem to solve my problem
]]> dbus-core 1.6.0-5
]]>Having problems with nm-applet after recent update..read bug report but downgrading is only a short term solution.
Does NetworkManager package need rebuilding?
Only thing I could find in logs was...
Jun 28 13:01:05 localhost NetworkManager[316]: <warn> Failed to open plugin directory /usr/lib/NetworkManager: Error opening directory '/usr/lib/NetworkManager': No such file or directory
not related.
what version of dbus-core do you have?
