Hi,

I claim that it doesn't touch the one at /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf at
all.
>From the bug report and the logic (you can set things like search
domains and DNS servers statically per configured connection, e.g. per
WLAN), I would have had expected that it does so always after the user
requested to connect to a network, but before it starts dhclient for
this connection.
But it doesn't use /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf for that (probably because
it should also work when using static IPs) but (without having
resolvconf installed) modifies /etc/resolv.conf directly as it seems.
At least for a short moment the message "Modifying /etc/resolv.conf"
or similar was shown in wicd-curses' status line.
According to /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template.default the idea is to
generate a dhclient.conf somewhere under /var/run/, but actually and
according to /usr/share/pyshared/wicd/wnettools.py it's at
/var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf.
Here are the wicd related files under /var on one of my systems:
~ → tree /var/lib/wicd /var/run/wicd
/var/lib/wicd
├── configurations
│ ├── 000f66a720db
│ ├── […]
│ └── f02572ca7274
├── dhclient.conf
└── resolv.conf.orig
/var/run/wicd
└── wicd.pid
Additionally I found no evidence in the code at all that wicd accesses
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf -- and it didn't look as if it did that on my
machines. But then again, I stopped using resolvconf years ago, so my
machines may not be the proper examples since this bug report is now
against resolvconf.
