python error related to the translate() function that renders wicd un-usuable

[PCManiac]

Wicd Version: 1.7.2.4
OS: Slackware Current 64 bit (Linux - 3.2.21 #2 SMP Sun Jun 24 11:55:51 CDT 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux)
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jun 19 2012, 00:38:05)

I just installed wicd on this computer and, when I started it, got this error:

displaytray True
Done loading.

On the next runs, it starts without any problem.

I think it is related to this same problem I just reported, once I try to associate with an AP (in my case, with WEP encryption) I get the following error related to "translate()"

Just letting you know it does not happen on 1.7.2.3.

Sorry, it seems that it was reported already something similar that may be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/993912
