nm-applet not working after upgrade to 0.8.999

I'm not sure if this is a problem related to networkmanager or nm-applet, or something completely different I haven't thought about.

When starting nm applet I get the following error messages:

(nm-applet:3480): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_red_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed

(nm-applet:3480): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_green_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed

(nm-applet:3480): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_blue_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

** (nm-applet:3480): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system settings properties: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files.
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area

** (nm-applet:3480): WARNING **: Failed to register as an agent: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

When trying nmcli I also got this error message:

Error: nmcli (0.8.999) and NetworkManager (unknown) versions don't match. Force execution using --nocheck, but the results are unpredictable.

Using --nocheck doesn't help.

I hope some can help me getting this problem solved.

that means networkmanager doesn't run or it crashed.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I was completely sure I would have already checked that.

Sorry!

Try

NetworkManager --no-daemon

as root. Then you see if it crashes.

I'm gonna look into it more closely later today. I could access the network, that's why the idea that NetworkManager could have crashed never came to my mind.

Thats odd, mine is working just fine.

At first I thought it wasnt working, because it wouldnt appear in the Systray in any Desktop Environment or Window Manager, I restarted and suddenly it started working again.

Although if it does stop appearing for any reason in the tray, I end up having to log in and log out.
