I think you must not have read the message I posted very carefully.  I
don't think wicd works very well and I only built the RPM so I could
test it out.  If you want to sign yourself up as a developer and take
that stuff and be in charge of it, that's fine.  But, for me, its just
not a good piece of code.  There's no way I could force it into an
acceptable Fedora framework without a lot of hassle.
