NetworkManager/dbus/consolekit issues - "invalid DBUS proxy"

[Jara0]

I have recently begun experiencing issues with nm-applet and network manager. nm-applet lists the wireless networks perfectly however any attempts to changed eth0 or wlan0 from nm-applet present the following message.

"(32) org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control request failed: Authorization check failed: invalid DBUS proxy.

some of the things iv tried
1)emerge -1 glib dbus dbus-glib networkmanager consolekit polkit
2) emerge -avuDN world --with-bdeps=y
3)revdep-rebuild
4)confirmed dbus,networkmanager,consolekit are all setup to start in default group. ck-list-sessions shows sessions correctly.

I believe its permissions because I receive a password prompt like before
I recently transitioned to eudev but it was working normally after the initial transition. Openbox is the wm in use as well.

Any help would be appreciated. LMK if any additional information is desired.

Replying back to add further troubleshooting steps. When running as root nm-applet can connect and interact fine, as can nmcli.

I wiped out dbus configs(backed up first) emerge -C dbus && emerge -vD dbus. No change there except the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ files were not recreated.

I, too, did have the same problem - and while writing this post have fixed it. So, what i did was to look if dbus was running:
