Just tried a wicd fresh install with the current repo. wicd-client doesn't start due to missing Python glade module, 'import gtk.glade' fails in Python. It is working fine with my older development system, so there are two options:
1) There is a missing dependency
2) One of the dependencies changed
Regarding 1) dependency list was correct when it was created, around TC 2.5 I guess it is pygtk issue but not sure.
