[SOLVED] network-manager-applet problem

Connection activation failed: (32) Not authorized to control networking using nm-applet

My ~/.xinitrc :
exec  startxfce4 --ck-launch-session --exit-with-session dbus-launch
/usr/lib/notification-daemon-1.0/notification-daemon &
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 & i3

I've enabled NetworkManager via systemd

Also i'm a member of the group wheel and network .

Also I've

[nm-applet]
Identity=unix-group:network
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes

in
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla

What am I doing wrong ??

Re: [SOLVED] network-manager-applet problem

removed --ck-launch-sesssion ,dbus-launch
installed gnome-keyring

works like a charm .

How are you starting X?
From with X, launch a terminal and check the output of loginctl show-session 1. 

ewaller@odin:~ 1003 %loginctl show-session 1 | cat 
Id=1
Timestamp=Fri, 2012-10-26 13:17:53 PDT
TimestampMonotonic=31606861

TTY=tty1

Ensure that is says "Active=yes".  If not, you may need to change how you are starting X

Edit: Never mind, we were posting at the same time.
