yes, it is a workaround but is is not the right way to solve the problem imho. 
you should clean resolv.conf *every* time the network is disconnected, clicking 
wicd's "disconnect" button, for instance.
but this is still a workaround: the right way, i think, is making application 
stop looking for dns on startup, as i suppose they're doing. but i'm quite 
ignorant about the question.

I think, however, that the problem is a serious limitation for a mobile
platform. if ubuntu is supposed to be able to manage a mobile scenario,
it should be able to handle disconnections, not just connections, and it
should not turn into a slow system every time the connection is
unavailable.

but, i repeat, i'm lacking necessary knowledge to speak about that.
there probably are non-trivial causes.
