wicd problem -- gnome panel applet has gone
Apparently, though unproven, at 01:48 on Tuesday 09 November 2010, Allan
Gottlieb did opine thusly:
> I am a happy user of wicd, but recently a problem has arisen.
>
> The daemon starts and runs and at home it connects me to the wireless
> network.
>
> The problem is that the applet icon no longer appears in my gnome panel.
>
> As I result I have no easy way to connect to another network.
>
> I checked main-menu-->system-->startup-applications
> and Wicd Network Manager Tray is checked.
>
> I looked in /var/log and see no errors or warnings but also do not see
> any indication that the Manager tray is started.
How lucky for you I ran into this this morning and found the fix :-)
Lemme guess, you have pygobject installed with USE="-introspection?" wicd-gtk
is segfaulting, you'll see it in dmesg
Sync and update to pygobject-2.26.0-r1. There's a one-line patch that needs to
be applied. Here it is if your mirror is behind the times:
