And if I do install wicd to use in Xmonad, will that replace whatever app is currently running in Xubuntu?  Thanks.

No reason I know of, but then again, I remove network manager and use
static IP addresses on my machines. Since they are desktop machines, I
don't use either one. However, lets talk about replacing network
