I confirm that this bug concerns also the version in the testing repo.

Can you confirm that this problem is indeed for *both* architectures? I'm able to duplicate this only in i686.

I confirm this on x86_64.

I don't know why :-D but 1.3.1-10 fixed this on my system.

... well, I still have the missing/blank tray icon issue.
Comment by Giorgio Lando (patroclo7) - Sunday, 25 November 2007, 20:46 GMT
1.3.1-10 wisely makes all the paths of images absolute in gui.py... May be that this should be done also for tray.py. However, some other icons are still missing for me in the gui: that of the wired network and that of the hidden networks. Someone suggested in the forum to install the gnome-icon-theme, but this did not fix the issue.

Please try installing dhclient and wpa_supplicant and see if this fixes your issue. A user on the wicd forums was encountering something similar(but not exactly the same), and was related to negotiating the dhcp address.

in /usr/lib/wicd/gui.py

self.image.set_from_icon_name("network-wired",6)

seems to be the relevant line. This pulls the icon from /usr/share/icons/gnome/{res}/devices/network-wired.png. Why this works for me in x86_64 and not in my emulated i686 Arch install is still a mystery. However, this problem seems to happen even when wicd is left where it wants to be (/opt/wicd). Looks more like an upstream issue.

I confirm that this happens also in /opt (for example witht the svn package in the AUR). Do you know what determines {res} in this case?

The problem seems resolved with the upstream release 1.3.8, actually in testing. Then it was an upstream problem :). May be that this bug could be solved, or may be not, because it still affects the package in extra.

wicd 1.4.1 is now *stable*, maybe this issue is fixed
