Description of problem:

Under Windowmaker, Networkmanager doesn't have permission to connect to a wifi network.  I started off with KDE (installed from the live cd) on this computer, and then installed Windowmaker.  After booting into WM the first time, I saw that NetworkManager couldn't see or access any of the wifi networks.  I loaded Netapplet and checked the box, "allow this interface to be managed by NetworkManager".  Then, NetworkManager could see the list of active Wifi networks, but when I go to select any network, it fails and displays the error:

"Failed to add/activate connection.  (32) Insufficient privileges."
