Are you using the supplicant manually? With NM, there's no need to have
a supplicant config file even, since NM will send config information to
the supplicant on its own, based on the connections you've defined
either in your distro config files or in GConf.

NetworkManager is trying to start the system settings service with D-Bus
service activation, which is normal. Do you have
the
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings.service
file, and if so, what does it contain?

Expected, the service is running as normal and should be providing data
to NetworkManager via D-Bus. It does not daemonize becuase it doesn't
need to when its started with D-Bus service activation, which is the
normal procedure.
When nm-system-settings is started, what's the output of the following
command?
dbus-send --system --print-reply
--dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.ListConnections
If that returns something like:
method return sender=:1.6 -> dest=:1.5810 reply_serial=2
array [
object path "/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0"
]
then the system settings service is working correctly.
