Maybe my program has no access rights? (although it it runs as root)
I read that "Access to methods and interfaces is governed through XML 
files in |/etc/dbus-1/system.d| ".
I also found posts about people having problems running nm-applet, and 
the solution was to modify 
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf (change "deny" 
to "allow").
But that did not help.

Could access rights (permissions, ..) be my problem?

Kind regards,
