Package: wicd-gtk
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: normal

See attached screenshot. The UI contradicts itself, stating both
"connecting" and "connected". This remains up as long as wicd-client is
running, and worse this causes a constant stream of activity, which
keeps wicd itself eating about 10% of CPU. This CPU usage vanishes
when wicd-client is stopped.

It may be relevant that the network I've connected to is an ad-hoc wifi
network.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"hollow"  
          Mode:Ad-Hoc  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Cell: AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA   
          Tx-Power=13 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

It has a dhcp server on it, which wicd uses. I tried turning off the option to
ping gateways after connection, but that did not help.

As far as I can see, there are no hooks or scripts still being run by wicd.
The relevant processes:

 8352 ?        S      0:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /var/run/wpa_supplicant
 9214 ?        S      1:21 /usr/bin/python -O 
/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py
 9228 ?        S      0:29  \_ /usr/bin/python -O 
/usr/share/wicd/daemon/monitor.py
31738 ?        Ss     0:00 /sbin/dhclient -v wlan0

I also tried wicd-curses. It reports:

Connected to hollow at ??% (IP: 10.1.1.2)

Note: Same network upon which #644286 used to happen. I suppose this new
behavior is a slight improvement over the old..
