Hi, I think that I've been bitten by this. My /var/log/NetworkManager shows something similar to this : May 17 22:35:52 laptop NetworkManager: <WARN> get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: Rejected send message, 13 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.12" (uid=0 pid=2096 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager) interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets" member="GetSecrets" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" (uid=1000 pid=3533 comm="/usr/bin/knetworkmanager)). I've tried copying the suggested config into both /etc/dbus-1/system.d/Network-frontend.conf and also into /etc/dbus-1/session.d/Network-frontend.conf. I've restarted dbus, networkmanager, rebooted several times. It still does not work. I've also now changed some of the other files in /etc/dbus-1 to reduce the amount of security (yeah, yeah, I know it's a bad idea, however I'm on a laptop and am the only user). I'm currently using cnetworkmanager as root to get around this issue, but I'd prefer to get back to a correctly working system. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
As I started my machine after the latest zypper up, I found the following recent commit has broken NetworkManager for KDE:KDE4:Factory 11.2 users for obvious reasons (we got the updated NetworkManager-kde4 from KKFD, but not NetworkManager, so no dbus conf)
+Fri Apr 23 10:20:23 UTC 2010 - bili@novell.com + +- Add a general frontend dbus configuration in NetworkManager + so delete the conf in knetworkmanager, bili@novell.com(bnc#476502).
Since a lot of people use 11.2 + KKFD I thought it would be best to publicise the workaround as soon as I experienced this. Put the new dbus conf from factory NetworkManager [ http://pastebin.com/5X7x9JHY ] in /etc/dbus-1/system.d as NetworkManager-frontend.conf also available on build.oo from the Factory NetworkManager package
I know that backwards compatibility shouldn't hold back development, but it would be nice if this change was made in a way that didn't kill 11.2 users. Solutions might be an ugly specfile hack or to somehow provide new NetworkManager to 11.2 users. I know its in GNOME:Factory, but I'd rather not add that massive repo if I didn't have to. Is it sensible to have KKFD aggregating factory NetworkManager as a sort of backport for 11.2 users?
Anyway there will probably be quite a few surprised users, knetworkmanager pops up a really scary dialog on reboot after this change, saying sth like "Knetworkmanager cannot provide user settings ... Knetworkmanager will not start on startup ever again", so here's your heads up.
