jfernyhough has found a better fix here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager

Change the default policy context in both /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf so it says 'allow' instead of 'deny'.

<policy context="default">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>

Then restart dbus

sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart

and launch the applet

nm-applet
