trouble starting NetworkManagerInfo on ubuntu

[Thomas Bouve <crahan n00 be>]

Hi, 

I've been trying to get NetworkManager working on Ubuntu but I ran into
a few speedbumps (actually I'm stuck on top of one ;)).

I started NetworkManager as root (using sudo) so it runs in the
background in daemon mode.  Now when I try to start NetworkManagerInfo
as a refgular user, I get this:

NetworkManagerInfo: nmi_dbus_service_init() could not acquire its
service.  dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.5" is not
allowed to own the service "`+  "" due to security policies in the
configuration file'

Which doesn't sound too healthy :/

If I try to start NetworkManagerInfo as root, it just sits there and I
don't get any systray icon either.  

Am I overlooking something?
