Hello,
I was about to post more informations, but the users had to use his computer.
So. here is an interesting output from .xsession-errors:

** (nm-applet:6578): WARNING **: <WARN>  nma_dbus_init(): could not
acquire its service.  dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection
":1.21" is not allowed to own the service
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the
configuration file'

We didn't change anything on those computer, just apply ubuntu
updates.... It worked fine until Thursday or Friday, then.... no applet
anymore.

I tried to restart dbus daemon then restart nm-applet from the shell,
same error. With a "sudo nm-applet" it works, but.... we could launch it
as user, before.

In syslog, we can only see that NM  daemon is started, that it works (catch 
dhcp server, sets IP, DNS and so on). 
It just appears to be a bit silly, as it deactivates eth0 many times before 
catching network. Network cable was plugged all the time [computer boots with 
it], and our network is all right (gentoo has no problem, with dhcpcd or 
dhclient, it find in 5s an IP for my computer)
There are some warnings:

<WARN>  nm_dhcp_manager_begin_transaction(): dhcdbd not running!
[snip]
<WARN>  nm_spawn_process(): nm_spawn_process('/usr/sbin/nscd -i hosts'): could 
not spawn process. (Failed to execute child process "/usr/sbin/nscd" (No such 
file or directory))

But I don't think it's related to the Applet.

We find the same logs than syslog in daemon.log

So, seems "something" in config file has changed. Maybe a group added in
which we have to add our user so that it can access the dbus ressource ?

Hope it will help you.

Regards,

C.
