Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

nm-applet does not start, although it is part of the gnome-startup
applications.

When trying to start as a regular user from the command line:

m...@purple:~$ nm-applet --sm-disable

** (nm-applet:2656): WARNING **: <WARN>  request_name(): Could not acquire the 
NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
  Error: (9) Connection ":1.67" is not allowed to own the service 
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the 
configuration file


This can be solved by adding a line:
  <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>

to the <policy context="default"> section of:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf

I also tried not adding it to the 'default' context, but to
'at_console="true"', but that does not seem to work.

** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
