With patched wicd-1.7.3 and urwid-1.3.0, wicd-curses seems to work here, but only partially..
wicd-curses showed up when executed, but the keyboard commands did not work, and when I pressed enter it started connecting, then crashed (it got connected as the wicd-gtk --tray icon turned green).
The crashes seem reproducible here, whenever I press enter it connects/disconnects, but crashes.
Here is the output:
Code:
$ wicd-curses

On my machine, the program does not stop cleanly when It's been compiled with urwid-1.1.2, urwid-1.2.2, urwid-1.3.0, I get that kind of error.
I also have updates for giflib, libwpd and xine (1.2) under testing, but they need some more time.

My 3.5 update adds clang-tools-extra and compiler-rt. I had a look at lldb as well, but the fact that it's not really supported on 32bit linux yet made me wait a bit longer.
I just pushed an update to the wicd directory linked earlier and included a couple of those patches, but I think the proper thing to do for now is leave urwid at 1.0.2 since everything works with it. I'm leaving the fix for urwid-1.3.0 in the build directory but commented out the line to apply it. Feel free to play around with it (and more importantly, someone should report a bug upstream), but until/unless things change, we'll keep urwid 1.0.2 for wicd.

Thanks Robby. There is also urwid 1.0.3 that was released on github only, but in my testing it has the same issue as 1.3.0.
