Yup, this was already fixed both upstream and in -2. The configuration loss was
a bug of -1, so all people who upgraded to *that* version unfortunately lost
it (and I'm really sorry, it didn't happen here :/, or maybe I just tested it
the wrong way).
Upgrades to -2 don't have that bug though.

This was fixed upstream already:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/revision/663

The easy solution is to recreate the configfiles lost during the upgrade; that
should let you start wicd.

There are still a couple of fixes I made upstream, so probably I will release a
-3, so that you don't have to keep local patches around :)

Thanks, and sorry for the brokenness,
David
