We spend some hours by solving this issue on fresh edgy installation.

If try launching nm-applet with

nm-applet --sm-disable
```


doesn't work, then here is the 

soloution.

Change in the following two files:


  

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

    /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf
  
  


From

<policy context="default">
        <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow senddestination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow sendinterface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
```


To:

<policy context="default">
        <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow senddestination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow sendinterface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
```


Then restart dbus:

sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
```


And launch the applet:

nm-applet
```


Now it should work like a charm.
