Np App Error

It is happened to me a little problem with nm-applet. The applet is not present in the Gnome top bar and running from the shell /usr/bin/nm-applet it doesn't appear. Instead an error is displayed.

** (nm-applet:8471): WARNING **: <WARN>  nma_dbus_init(): could not acquire its service.
    dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.63" is not allowed to own the service
    "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file'

What was happened was that the "Connect to wireless and ethernet networks" was disabled in Gnome. To fix the problem go to System -> Administration -> User and groups. Find your user and press the button "Advanced configurations". You need the root password to access this tab. Now mark the "Connect to wireless and ethernet networks" box and the "Connect to internet using a modem" box.
All done!
