It shouldn't. Wicd calls:

  dhclient -cf <config> <iface>

<config> is generated at runtime, getting info
from /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template (or .template.default). 

However, I can't see anything in my /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf related to hooks.
If it were, that should be copied over to /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template .

Do you have anything customized in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf ?

Can you set it to "dhclient"? Does anything change?
Or is dhclient itself greyed out?

Kindly,
David
