If you do that all the time, you may as well disable SELinux, it's not

That's a wrong assumption. NM doesn't wait until the user has started.
It is a system service which starts at boot. nm-applet(GNOME) or

It strikes me that something is *really* broken with Network Manager.
Other services wait until they start before returning to the next item
in the startup sequence. Network Manager seems to be returning as
ready, before it is, and buggering up other things that follow.

If gui_rpc_auth.cfg is there and readable for you, then
cd /var/lib/boinc; boincmgr
should start the manager

I tried boincmgr from the user command line.
