nm-applet permissions//password prompting

I've gotten tired with wicd's general bugginess and I'm trying networkmanager + nm-applet. nm-applet refuses to work without root permissions in dwm (even if I manually start polkit-gnome). Is it safe if I run nm-applet with root permissions in ~/.xinitrc (this is the only way it will work)?

Additionally, it seems that it refuses to prompt me for passwords even if a network has WPA2 security--it will only connect if I manually edit the connection to include the password. Is there any way to get nm-applet to prompt me for a password whenever I need one?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem did you ever get a fix?
