Description of problem: When logging into a GNOME session nm-applet complains that it cannot find a needed resource and exits. When starting a terminal and running nm-applet from there it works all ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.7.996-4.git20091002.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above Actual results: nm-applet start up fails. Expected results: nm-applet started normally. Additional info: I will check logs in detail and attach anything that looks relevant in few minutes. If nothing is attached, then nothing in logs.
I've got the same problem. I came across an old blog post (18 months) that had this workaround: $ gtk-update-icon-cache $ nm-applet & then networkmanager starts. Unfortunately this must be done again when the computer is rebooted.
