I've just uploaded an updated wicd package to Debian Unstable which
fixes many outstanding issues in Debian and Ubuntu.

Unfortunately I haven't yet found a bug fix for this issue.

I though could at least trace it down so far that I can reliably
reproduce it and know what circumstance need to be present:

Requirements:

* The wired interface needs to be shown, i.e. either "Always show
  wired interface" is on or the wired interface has link.

How to reproduce reliably:

* Start wicd-curses and don't press any keys.
* Wait until "wired-default" is no more highlighted, i.e. no more
  displayed inverted.
* Press more or less any key. ("H" for help does not immediately
  crash, but first shows the help and crashes when you quit the help
  dialog.)

Probably the right way to tackle this is to find out what unhighlights
and hence unselects the wired-default connection (and instead selects
something which can't receive keypresses) and then make it stop doing
that.

But I've so far not yet found what unselects the wired connection in
the TUI. Any help (further debugging, patches, suggestions) is
appreciated here.

  Regards, Axel
