There is a conditional statement right above it that would report if a dbus proxy fails. I'm tempted to remove this message since it doesn't seem to report anything of value, and just adds to the system message log.  Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

It means that the system settings service couldn't be started.  We
should figure out _why_ it can't be started, actually.  Could be due to
selinux policy denials perhaps.  Can you stop NetworkManager and run:

/usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --debug --plugins=ifcfg-fedora

and report the output?

Thanks!
