$ nm-applet
** (nm-applet:11935): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service():
Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Message: 'Connection ":1.98" is not allowed to own the service
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the

...I think the result of the sudo command might relate to my having
configured my dsl connection (a pppoe one) with pppoeconf --- which I
did because I didn't succeed with nm's gui tool.
