[SOLVED] NetworkManager, Systemd and Slim Issues

I have different issues wile switched to systemd , and I'm qiute obset for this move bye Arch as this actually complicates allot the normal system usage.
However,

** (nm-applet:1556): WARNING **: VPN Connection activation failed: (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.PermissionDenied) Not authorized to control networking.

is shown when I try to connect to my VPN, and:

** (nm-applet:1556): WARNING **: disconnect_cb: Device disconnect failed: (32) org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control request failed: not authorized

if I try to disconnect.
Thunar shows the hdd partitions mounted 2 times Mentioned here , and of course again the "Not authorized to perform operation." is shown when trying to mount.

(already tried the 2 options here):

Sounds like a consolekit vs systemd-logind problem.   Make sure that networkmanager, nm-applet, and slim are all up-to-date, and that you are booted up with systemd rather than initscripts.

Solution found here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143640

    I had the same problem with Systemd / lightdm / xfce4.

    I modified dbus-access rights to get it working again. In /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf, I changed <deny to <allow for the entries with "Sleep", "sleep", "wake", and  send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> in the section <policy context="default">
