Recently Slackware current had this bug with wicd-1.7.4 and urwid-1.3.0.
Using curses_bitrate_fix.patch did not solve this problem. (It is still used though.)
Since the only Slackware application using urwid is wicd it made sense to simply downgrade urwid to 1.0.3.
Problem solved!
And no need for the wicd-1.7.3-urwid-1.3.0.patch when building wicd.
Here is the Slackware current wicd build directory:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/slackware/slackware64-current/extra/source/wicd/
The build script is wicd.SlackBuild
