nm-applet does not want to start

I followed all the steps on both the network manager wiki pages and I keep getting this error when I run it from a terminal:

** (nm-applet:32238): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_init_bus(): Could not get the system bus. Make sure the message bus daemon is running! Message: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
** (nm-applet:32238): CRITICAL **: nm_dbus_settings_system_new: assertion 'dbus_connection !=NULL' failed
** (nm-applet:32238): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_connection_register_g_object: assertion 'connection !=NULL' failed
** (nm-applet:32238): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed

Whenever I disable the network daemon and enable the networkmanager daemon it changes my hostname to localhost. Also I don't know which daemons to shutoff or add, here is my current list in rc.conf:
syslog-ng network netfs crond

add hal to daemon list also you need to put !network or remove it and add networkmanager
a proper list is: syslog-ng netfs crond hal networkmanager

From there how do I get it to go with the hostname I have in rc.conf instead of resorting to localhost?

add your hostname to rc.conf and then to /etc/hosts like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 yourhostname

I fixed the problem by deleting something I added in a networkmanager conf file. Now root can start it up fine, but other users cant start it up withoutthe use of sudo su.
