Do you see this in the ~/.xsession-errors ? ** (nm-applet:3524): WARNING **: <WARN> nma_dbus_init(): could not acquire its service. dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.40" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file' It's some sort of file permissions error, because if you set System: Administration: Login Screen: Security Permissions: Allow login if write permissions on user's home direcory that problem goes away.
