Bug Description

In KUbuntu 12.04 (development branch) I always get a crash of wicd-kde each time I am turning
my computer off or even just when I logout from KDE. In turn, wicd-kde crashes each time it exits.
Just right-click on its icon in the system tray and choose exit, and it will crash immediately.

OS version: KUbuntu 12.04, KDE 4.8.1
wicd-kde version 0.2.3

Although the crash itself is 100% reproducible, the backtrace that I have attached here is not very stable, however.
I often get just a useless single line "0x00000000 in ?? ()" instead of this.
And once I got a single line "0x02009e1d in _vq_lengthlist__44c5_s_p2_0 () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvorbisenc.so.2", which also does not look very reliable.
As if exiting from wicd-kde causes some serious memory corruption, so that even the stack might get corrupted.

It seems this is already a known bug of the old wicd-kde version:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296285

The newer version 0.3.0 that I took from here
http://packages.debian.org/sid/wicd-kde
does not have this issue.

Just update wicd-kde in Ubuntu to a newer version, please, and this bug will go away.
