This is the NetworkManager applet trying to register it's
NetworkManagerInfo service.  If you're not running NetworkManager,
you'll need to install the service file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and
restart dbus.  You can get it here:

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/NetworkManager/gnome/applet/nm-applet.conf?rev=1.2

We should probably handle this case gracefully in the applet.
