   'wicd-client -n' is used when connecting wirelessly with the wlan0
interface. Locally, plugging in the ethernet cable before booting the system
brings up eth0 automatically.

   Restoring the local /etc/resolv.conf from within ~/.bash_logout when
logging out from an external wireless session requires no user knowledge and
does not compromise security of that portable (or the LAN) in any way.
Simple is much better.
