Allan runs GNOME 3, and therefore systemd. systemd cannot run without
dbus (unless until kdbus is ready). That is not the problem.

Allan, could you introspect wicd? I don't use wicd, so I don't know
the exact destination nor object-path, but with NetworkManager is:
gdbus introspect --system --dest org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
--object-path /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager
wicd should use something similar. Use /etc/dbus-1/system.d/*wicd* as guide.
Regards.
