If I run Xmonad, what app should I run through dmenu? In other words, what app does Xubuntu 9.10 use in lieu of something like wicd? And if I do install wicd to use in Xmonad, will that replace whatever app is currently running in Xubuntu?

I actually just tried wicd and it sucked. Hard. Never had this issue with any other distro. I get ~75-83% signal on my kitchen table with the network manager.
