Ok, this is what I did (maybe it helps you to reproduce the problem)
I upgraded NetworkManger (and nm-applet) from version 0.6.5 to 0.7.
The D-Bus config file of nm-applet got upgraded (I attached the old
and the new version).
Starting nm-applet 0.7 then resulted in this error message:

nm-applet --sm-disable

 ** (nm-applet:27294): WARNING **: <WARN>
applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the
NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
   Message: 'Connection ":1.39" is not allowed to own the service
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies
in the configuration file'

After I reloaded dbus, this error message went away and nm-applet started fine.

I tried to run dbus in debug mode, as Timo asked me too.
Unfortunately, I got a huge file (around 130Mb, I got tons of those
[1] messages) in a few minutes. So attaching it is not really
possible.

Some excerpts:
-- during early startup --
30627: Added watch on config directory '/etc/dbus-1/system.d'
...
-- after replacing nm-applet.conf --
30627: event name: 'nm-applet.conf'

HTH,
