nm-applet in gnome doesn't show up until networkmanager restart

Dear everyone,

yesterday I have installed Arch for the first time on my new Laptop after spending 3 years with Ubuntu. I am quite thrilled with the customizability :-)

One problem that i am experiencing is, that the nm-applet does not show up in the gnome panel until i manually restart the networkmanager daemon by

sudo /etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart

After that command the applet immediately shows up and works fine.

Any solutions?

maybe you didn't add networkmanager to DAEMONS in rc.conf ?

It is n the DAEMONS list... apparently it fails to start during boot for some reason

my daemons list looks like this:

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng netfs networkmanager @crond dbus @cpufreq)

that's wrong.
move dbus before networkmanager
