Thank's everybody for help, I have solved my problem. In no way anybody in this list could guess the reason of the issue, but the guiding questions did help to find it. The reason of the problem was that I had networkmanager-kde4 plasmoid installed in my system. Even though I did not have it added to my deskop, it still somehow prevented knetworkmanager from working normally (and also nm-applet to start). I have removed the package from the system, and magically, all started to work - first, I was able to start nm-applet in kde, then I knetworkmanager again started to work. Just for history (if someone is interested or would ever find this thread while solving the same problem). I have came to this solution while trying to start nm-applet under kde. Initially, when I tried to start it in kde4, I did receive the above error message, so for clearance I have tried to start lightweight wm (icewn), did start nm-applet there and it worked (though my icewm does not have tray and I could not see the icon, but there were also no errors in the console output). Then I killed nm-applet, started knetworkmanager, started nm-applet and it did show the same error as described above, so I understood that knetworkmanager does prevent nm-applet from starting. But when I tried to repeat the same in KDE4, this did not work - I killed knetworkmanager, then I even removed it from the system and rebooted - nm-applet still could not start in KDE4. And then I have remembered about networkmanager kde4 plasmoid - that was the last thing is the system which could do lock resources from nm-applet, as knetworkmanager (kde3) did. I have removed this package from system and all works now.
