Bug Description

Under Debian/unstable with wicd 1.7.4+tb2-4:

After the connection is lost (e.g. router switched off and on again a bit later), wicd does not attempt to reconnect. For instance, the logs end with:

2017/08/07 00:05:46 :: DHCP connection successful
2017/08/07 00:05:46 :: not verifying
2017/08/07 00:05:46 :: Connecting thread exiting.
2017/08/07 00:05:46 :: Sending connection attempt result success

i.e. with the last successful connection. The cause may be that wicd did not notice that the connection was lost. It seems that closing the GUI allows wicd to reconnect (though the bug related to that was supposed to be fixed), as I mentioned on:

After some tests and a look at the code, it is actually

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582567

that has reappeared! In wicd-daemon.py,

        if self.GetAutoReconnect() and not self.CheckIfConnecting() and \
           not self.GetForcedDisconnect() and not self.auto_connecting and \
           not self.gui_open:

the "and not self.gui_open" should be removed.

summary: - does not attempt to reconnect after connection loss
+ no autoconnect when GUI is open
