I have actually been reluctant to install wicd myself.  People say it is 
the way to go, but the fact that it removes the default network manager 
makes me wary of it, since the default app works fine for me.  If I did 
decide to go with wicd, I wonder if I uninstall it, will the default 
network manager be reinstalled?  If yes, then I will definitely try out 
wicd.
