Nm-applet problem after move to from /opt to /usr

Hello, my nm-applet wont start as normal user after Gnome was moved to /usr, i get this output when trying to start

nm-applet --sm-disable

as normal user:

** (nm-applet:6840): WARNING **: <WARNING>       
nma_dbus_init (): nma_dbus_init() could not acquire its service.  dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 
'Connection ":1.111" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to 
security policies in the configuration file'

Whats wrong?

Read this: http://www.archlinux.org/news/314/

Due to the changed paths some downsides will happen: profiles will have all gnome-panel launchers pointing to /opt/gnome. These launchers can't be loaded by the gnome panel in some cases, causing them to get lost. These launchers should be manually recreated.

Re: Nm-applet problem after move to from /opt to /usr

ignore raisefist's message, it's not related to your problem 
networkmanager 0.6.4-5 has changed the policy, so what you need to do to get the applet working again, is add your user to the group network. the strange thing is that you can still use a wired connection without the need of adding the user to network

gpasswd -a username network

should solve your problem.
