I can confirm that the issue is related to NetworkManager. Although I am running MATE with NM, gwibber-service fails to start with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gwibber-service", line 77, in <module> connection_monitor = dispatcher.ConnectionMonitor() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gwibber/microblog/dispatcher.py", line 823, in __init__ log.logger.debug("NM Version is %s", str(self.nm.Get(NM_DBUS_INTERFACE, "Version"))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 7 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.46" (uid=1000 pid=1811 comm="/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/gwibber-service ") interface="(unset)" member="Get" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.8" (uid=0 pid=835 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ") -nik
