This function in urwid.util now. So here very big patch for /usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py.

Will this patch break using urwid-0.9.9.1 ?  I'll check back with upstream.

Uups.  To quick with my enter.  I ment to say: Fixed in -r7 which depends on >=urwid-1.0, while all other now depend on <urwid-1.0.
Thanks for reporting and thanks for the patch.

Yes that's possible, thanks.  I'll wait a bit to see what upstream does though.
It might be time to snapshopt a 2.0 version.  These guys will never ever release anything it seems.
