First up, the startup_once hook should be ok. Restarting qtile shouldn't cause nm-applet and blueman-applet to quit.
Have you checked your logfile to see if there are any error messags? You can check to see if the apps are running by doing something like "pgrep nm-applet" and seeing if you get a PID returned or not. If you do then there's something wrong with the widget, if you don't then there's something wrong with your script. As for dmenu, how are you trying to launch it? What happens if you run "echo test | dmenu" in a terminal?
