[mark@blackeee ~]$ nm-applet 

** (nm-applet:2192): WARNING **: <WARN>  applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
  Message: 'Connection ":1.22" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file'

[mark@blackeee ~]$

I ca run nm-applet as root, which i dont like to do, but when i try to run as my regular user i get the error above?

i assume from the error i need to give my self permision to use the network manager, how do i do that?

Thanks Markp1989

this is a policykit issue.
use gdm/kdm or ck-launch-session exec whateveryouuse

thanks, adding ck-launch-session to my xinitrc sorted it out

dbus-launch &
ck-launch-session &
pcmanfm &
