When I installed NM and restarted dbus to pick up NM config files it didn't work (dbus couldn't execute any nm specific services - nm-system-connection and wpa_supplicant). I had to downgrade to dbus 1.2.1, restart it, upgrade to 1.2.3 and now everything works fine. It seems there was a change in dbus system.conf file between 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 (not sure how it affects my case). Anyway, 3) is gone now. Any thoughts about 1) and 2)?
