wicd has never been supported or officially recommended in ubuntu. note
that startup-applications only applies to the UI part of network
manager (nm-applet). the system daemon (NetworkManager) obviously still
runs as you can see by looking at your processes.

i did notice variety in the logs, but it didnt seem to actually take
much ram there ... though as i just learned it can use external tools
like convert to apply filters and effect to your wallpaper on the fly 
... that could indeed be very ram hungry, especially if it downloads
random stuff from the internet all the time too where you cant really
predict what it takes to adjust it to your screen or filter selection.
