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 send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
```


To:


<policy context="default">
        <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        <allow send_interface="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.
