Hi all, I've installed slackware 14 before and added groups plugdev and netdev, whether I need them both i'm not sure but I can't get nm-applet to work under user. NetworkManager is started, does anyone have any clues?
Here is my paste when starting it as user. The paste is starting nm-applet from a terminal as user. http://pastebin.com/HcANjRbA
What window manager/desktop environment are you using?
nm-applet is a systemtray application. The systemtray is provided by KDE and xfce but in Windowmaker I needed to install 'wmsystemtray' from SlackBuilds for the nm-applet to work.
ive been using fluxbox and i receive the same message...but when run as root it creates an icon on the toolbar. i previously have been using ubuntu and it work(dont know why though). Still not managed to get networkmanager working yet on slackware.

In your case, it's a consolekit issue (and *may* be the op's issue, but he's mia)
