I'm using systemd and the NetworkManager service is running (verified with systemctl). I have internet connectivity. However, I see a red X in the system tray and it says "Network Manager is not running. Please start it". As such, I can't configure the networks from KDE, which is my preference.

I took a break from systemd for a few weeks, but before that, this setup was working fine. Now after an upgrade cycle or two, KDE is no longer detecting NetworkManager.

Installed relevant packages (with ~amd64):

sys-apps/systemd-44-r1 USE="acl pam plymouth tcpd -audit -cryptsetup -lzma (-selinux)"
net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.4.0-r2 USE="bluetooth dhcpcd introspection nss ppp systemd wext -avahi -connection-sharing -dhclient -doc -gnutls -modemmanager -resolvconf -wimax"

I'm not sure which package provides the KDE network widget.

These days it is kde-misc/networkmanagement rather than KNetworkManager:

I'm using networkmanagement already, and it's at the latest version.

I have had similar issues, I think it is related by the "systemd" useflag that replaces consolekit with systemd.
You have to tell pam to use pam_systemd.so, I have tried adding "session optional pam-systemd.so" in /etc/pam.d/system-auth. It mostly works for polkit which disabled the power button in gnome.
However this is probably not the exact fix: I still have no power button in gdm and when "su" command ends I have a "killed" message.

That seemed to do the trick. Haven't tested power button, but I'm not using GDM.

I also had these weird issue's when I tried to use lightdm with consolekit. Adding the pam_loginuid module fixed these issue's. Maybe here as well?

session optional pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11

P.S. I still have no idea what it exactly does, it's man page is like black magic to me.

I had the problem as op.Fixed by adding "session optional pam_systemd.so" to /etc/pam.d/system-auth. After rebooting networkmanagement came right up in the panel showing my connection to the network.
