[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#572714: nm-applet does not show up

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.8.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #572714

Answering questions from earlier in the bug report.

Currently I am the only user logged in other than daemons.

Logging out and back in again does not fix it.
Rebooting does not fix it.

Running nm-applet from the command line works until I log out.

Using Gnome in Classic mode.

There is no error or warning message if I run:

    sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager force-reload
    
In addition, nm-applet does not show up in the programs listed in
the "Startup Application Preferences" dialog.

In /var/log/daemon.log I found:

    Oct 18 17:54:21 pharoah NetworkManager[3592]: <warn> error requesting
    auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected: (3)
    GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner:
    GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner:
    Could not get UID of name ':1.99': no such name

Have no idea where ':1.99' is coming from.
