nm-applet wont start

Hello, I can't get nm-applet to start, I'm using 0.7 from svn.

** (nm-applet:4222): WARNING **: <WARN>  applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
  Message: 'Connection ":1.12" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file'


(nm-applet:4222): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Anyone know whats wrong?

I believe when this happened to me, the fix was adding the user to the group 'network'

Re: nm-applet wont start

I managed to solve this problem by editing /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf like this:

<policy at_console="true">
    <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>

I allready have this section in the config.

Re: nm-applet wont start

Hi, removing these lines from /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf worked for me

        <policy context="default">
                <deny own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        </policy>
