Hi, I'm running stable KDE on x86 (4.4.5) and I'm archtesting kde-misc/wicd-client-kde. wicd is running and everything is fine with the connection. I cannot get the wicd-client-kde gui to display when started as a normal user. It is running, but will neither display anything on the screen, nor will it install a tray icon in the notification area. When run as root it seems to work fine. Reproducible: Always

for me works by user!
Maybe some policykit/permissions issue ? @kde: Any ideas?
Works for me as a regular user with otherwise stable packages. Do you see any error messages if you run it from a shell?
Ok, I fiddled with this a little. The problem seems to be that wicd-client can't connect to my system tray ('docker' in this case). It shows up if I add a kde-system tray to plasma. It also shows up for freshly created users. Closing this as invalid.
