I have a fresh Gentoo installation on my laptop and I try to enable Network Manager so I can connect to the Internet with Wireless Networks.
I followed the Wiki instructions, but the wireless light is still off. I have installed nm-applet:
Code:
rpil rpil # eix gnome-extra/nm-applet
[I] gnome-extra/nm-applet
     Available versions:  0.8 0.8.4 ~0.9.0 ~0.9.2.0 ~0.9.2.0-r1 0.9.4.1 {{bluetooth debug}}
     Installed versions:  0.9.4.1(10:00:23 09/05/12)(bluetooth)
     Homepage:            http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/
     Description:         GNOME applet for NetworkManager

When I give the command to show it to the panel, I receive this:
Code:
rpil rpil # nm-applet
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomesegvhandler"
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: The connection is closed)

** (nm-applet:13339): WARNING **: Failed to initialize D-Bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(nm-applet:13339): GConf-WARNING **: Directory `/apps/nm-applet' was not being monitored by GConfClient 0x816a2b8

dbus is in the default runlevel:
Code:
rpil rpil # rc-update show   
       NetworkManager |      default                 
             bootmisc | boot

What is missing?

First issue solved with the described here, actions: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-909342-start-0.html

Now I get this:
Code:
rpil rpil # nm-applet
