Okay, so I got bored and was exploring... I think that when I downloaded "Authentication Properties" to do an Active Directory installation it somehow changed the file, resulting in this change (in the dbus file). Basically, /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf was disallowing access for everyone but root... Don't quite understand how that happened, other than that Authentication Properties did it... because besides that it was spontaneous. So, yea.
