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've used wicd on other distros quite happily. I just wanted to cause as little change as possible for my woman, whom I'm still teaching Linux.
