nm-applet can't show popup windows

Hi, noob here. I've installed arch for the first time. I set up Network Manager started nm-applet. As excepted icon showed up in the bar. But when I clicked in menu on network it closed and threw this message in terminal:

(nm-applet:26433): nm-applet-WARNING **: Failed to show notification: Error spawning command line “dbus-launch --autolaunch=96548eb408ed4585930e49de1be84aaa --binary-syntax --close-stderr”: Child process exited with code 1

I've been fighting this for 5 hours and google haven't heard about this.
Thanks for help and sorry for English.

Re: nm-applet can't show popup windows

Which WM/DE are you running and how are you launching it?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Solved it. Don't know how but installing gnome keyring solved it.

Re: nm-applet can't show popup windows

Are you using startx or a DM to launch i3? If you're using startx then post the contents of your ~/.xinitrc

## .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then

    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then

    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi

exec i3
