Sorry about the long delay testing this but I don't get out much, in terms of using public wifi networks. I can now confirm that, as you say, the tooltip bug does not affect the connection.
However, if the last used network was my home WPA-secured network, wicd fails to connect to an unsecured public network (I tried two) at the "getting IP" stage. Restarting wicd does not fix the problem, but a reboot does (I didn't have time to try restarting various other services which could be involved). After connecting to a public network, I can connect to my home network without a reboot. I would like advice about how to proceed.
