That's not an informative description. Please try to run gnome-network-manager from a xterm and post the output.

Re: gnome-network-manager & XFCE 4.4

this is the output of nm-applet:

Well, obviously your system's dbus configuration disallows access. This could have several reasons, maybe you want to post the contents of /etc/dbus-1/system.d

Re: gnome-network-manager & XFCE 4.4

So the content of /etc/dbus-1/system.d:

[root@OpenBox system.d]# ls
NetworkManager.conf  avahi-dbus.conf  dhcdbd.conf  hal.conf  nm-applet.conf

Edit: so, now nm-applet start but i always receive dbus error messages....

Edit2: Here we are the outpout:

** (nm-applet:21359): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_connect_signal: assertion `DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed

** (nm-applet:21359): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_connect_signal: assertion `DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed

** (nm-applet:21359): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion `DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed

Re: gnome-network-manager & XFCE 4.4

OK, open NetworkManager.conf and search for the line

<policy at_console="true">

and add this line:

<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>

That, at least, should fix your initial issue. I have only just begun to learn more about dbus, so I have no clue about the second problem.

Mmmmm no entries as <policy at_console="true"> in my NetworkManager.conf....

So here we are my NetworkManager.conf:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>

                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        </policy>
        <policy group="users">
                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        </policy>
        <policy user="hal">
                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        </policy>
        <policy context="default">
                <deny own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        </policy>
</busconfig>

Re: gnome-network-manager & XFCE 4.4

You should add the rule under <policy group="users"> or create a new policy section. I think the second way is the better solution, but I guess you have to play around a little here

Re: gnome-network-manager & XFCE 4.4

i feel like i experienced a similar issue. did you try selecting the start gnome services on startup option under xfce? im not on my system right now so i forget where it is but do you know what i'm referring to? nm-applet worked fine for me after that.
