Nm-applet is not loading when using Slim

Question

I was using Gdm as login manager and networkmanager + nm-applet to manage the network. I just switched to Slim. But after that, nm-applet will not start automatically upon the login. Here is rc.conf looks like,
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs dbus hal slim !gdm networkmanager @alsa @crond)
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Ok. I figured it out. I was running nm-applet& command after exec gnome-session command. I put it before that and it started working. But I still need to say "sudo nm-applet&".
Now nm-applet is starting fine. But it is not remembering the password for the wireless connection. This is the message appearing when I start it.

All these were working fine with Gdm. I am not sure about getting this correct with Slim.  I have done the setting changes described in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLi … me_Keyring page. Here is my /etc/pam.d/slim file looks like.
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_limits.so
session required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
Any help?
