I have recently installed Arch Linux and GNOME 3 on my new laptop and have a problem whereby nm-applet is not showing in gnome-panel, unless I manually restart the NetworkManager daemon.
nm-applet not showing until NetworkManager restart in GNOME 3
arch linux;gnome3;networkmanager
I found the answer with help of the Arch Linux Forums:I tried to start the networkmanager daemon before the dbus daemon, which does not work. Changing the order solved the problem.
