I'm glad you found a solution. However, your post piqued my interest as I vaguely remembered having a similar problem. So I recompiled wicd (without error) using py2cairo, but wicd-gtk did not respond. I then did the same, but with http://cairographics.org/releases/pycairo-1.8.8.tar.gz and wicd-gtk came up with no configuration necessary. I realize it's a moot point for you as you have a perfectly acceptable solution. But I wonder if others experience the same py2cairo/pycairo result. I'm using the configuration options in the BLFS documentation. The only unique aspect I see is I'm using pycairo. Wicd is working quite well. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
