I think this has to do with a dbus update, but I'm not sure. I have done several restarts, re-emerged all relevant packages (dbus, dbus-python, wicd) but still it stops shortly after clicking the connect button in the GUI window, saying "Disconnecting active connections..." in the status bar (even though no connections were active). If I start wicd-gtk from the command line I sometimes get the errors below, but often it just "hangs". wicd-curses always fails reliably with the output below. Does that ring a bell with someone? Cheers, Peter. $ wicd-gtk Has notifications support True Loading... Connecting to daemon... Connected. displaytray True Done loading.
