I managed to get WICD working under FREEEEE by not exactly following the
instructions found at http://wicd.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fedora.
Long story short: download and untar the tarball, then follow the
instructions in the INSTALL file, namely:

yum install python-devel
python setup.py configure
python setup.py install

Make sure NetworkManager is turned off like so:

chkconfig NetworkManager off

reboot, at which time you should see the wcid service start up shortly after
eth0 comes up.  To bring up the butt-ugly-but-functional GUI, type:

wcid-client &

Starting up wired, wireless and VPN networks are all fairly intuitive.  And
it works!

Assuming I can duplicate any of the above, I promise to immortalize it in a
wiki...
