Re: Gnome problem after upgrade from FC6 to FC7

[Bruce Anderson <brucea396 comcast net>]

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.
