Bug Description
In suburban environment, multiple neighbors with wireless access points. Channel 1 is a WEP secured network, mine is Channel 9 WPA2. Right click on wicd-gtk system tray icon, select my own network ( which is top of the list ) wicd will always generate notification that it is connecting to the Channel 1 WEP network. It DOES actually connect to my own network, but almost always omits the connection established notification.

In an environment with more than 3 WPA2 secure access points, I have never seen the incorrect selection notification of "establishing connection" with the wrong network, so that the 'other net' using WEP may be a requirement for reproducing the problem.
